Well, the video above explains it pretty well… our world is broken.  The use of “our” is correct because we are all a part of the same world.  Another World is Possible is a week long series of events designed to bring awareness to the issues touched on in the video.  Genocide, clean water, AIDS, and slavery… how can these still be issues in this modern age?  How can we allow these things to happen?  Answer: We don’t know these issues exist or we have become complacent to these issues.  I used to be of the mind that problems half a world away couldn’t affect me.  They were too distant.  And if they did, what could I do.  I’m just one person.  Over the past year to two years my eyes have been opened.  I have seen first hand how a small group of like-minded individuals can change the lives of people that we may never meet.  We are seeing the results of our efforts and it makes me realize how powerful a small group of people can be on this planet of nearly 7,000,000,000 people (yes, 7 with a billion after it).

With my old blog I would usually try to have some type of challenge or pondering at the end of it, trying to make this feel as much like we’re talking face to face as possible.  I am going to continue that with this entry (it may not happen with every one, depends on the mood).  My challenge for you is to search your heart for what you see as a problem in this world and once you’ve identified it, figure out some way to fix it.  The next step is to start looking for people like yourself and join together to attack that problem head on.  What you see as the problem you’re called to may be seeing the end to the homeless in your town or it could be stopping genocide across the world or bringing clean water to all those who need it.  Whatever it is, GO FOR IT!!! Go about and make a difference.  It is going to be work, it is going to be hard work, I will not lie and tell you other wise.  At the end of the day when you look back you’ll be able to see that you and your group have made a difference.  So go for it!

Another World is Possible… Ciao! Ciao!
