a questioning mind

why do we as americans accept the fact that they make more in a day than more than 50% of the world will make in a year and what are we doing to help?

why is there a war being fought in uganda by mainly children who are kidnapped and brainwashed, but the world i live in doesn't care. if a child in america was kidnapped the amber alert would go off and millions would snap to attention. interesting.

why is it ok and even applauded to live a life without any drive or dignity?

why do people "check out" and let their lives live them instead of living the life they are meant for??

why is it counter-cultural for me, as a christian, to want to recycle?

what is it with republicans and war?

why do i live in a world where it's normal to not even know one of my neighbors names??

i have a lot of questions. now its time to do something about it.

since i was a little babe i have always been asking hard questions. i am an over analyzer and (even though it doesn't seem like it) i am very logical. as an elementary student i was trying to pry the theology of predestination out of my parent's. they had no idea what to say so they sent me to the children's pastor. in oversimplified terms i was told to just accept it. i have NEVER been able to just accept anything.

to this day i have questions. i will always have questions. one thing i am learning though is unless you seek out knowledge it will NOT fall into your lap. the person i am becoming is one who is waking up out of the haze, getting off my duff and truly finding something to be passionate about.

i honestly don't know the reasoning behind alot of what goes on in the world. but instead of just being spoon-fed my rationale i am out loud asking the why's again! i am digging deep into the things that don't make sense in my family, my church and my friends.
