Feeling Guilty

I'm sure Noah also took time to enjoy his family as well as cherish the little things God provided to him. He and his family kept busy in the ark and conducted their lives accordingly while the rest of the world perished and rotted beneath them.

I got to do something to show that I am partaking in the sufferings of these people. I saw a photo of this one lady that was crying looking at the devastation of her neighborhood. Imagine your whole neighborhood gone? Its only now I realize that neighborhoods are not merely houses and stores, but the people who share these things, which makes them a community. And its a whole community gooooooooooooooooooooone.

If you are so led, a fast might be good. Maybe a fast from ESPN?
