God Bless America Options

[Juris Khan]

i see a lot of this bumper sticker, it says "God bless America"(which should more acurately say 'the U.S." becuase that's what it refers to and many U.S.ers say they are american and that is true, but so are canadians and mexicans and brazilians and peruvians, etc. america is the set of tow continents, what we commonly refer to as america is the U.S. why do you think that people from the U.S. are estadounidences in spanish, literally unitedstatesian, not americanos, americans? becuase that's what we are, unitedstatesian,. but that's a different rant.) and every thime i see it, i think He has. God has blessed amreica. it's not how can God bless america more, but how can america bless God?

are you poor...?

let me ask you this: do you have a car?
maybe you said "yes, but it's a piece of crap, an old clunker from like 10 years ago. it's lucky it even runs. no AC, no CD, no cassette, the radio only gets 3 stations."

think about this: 8% of the people in the world have a car. 8. which means 92% of the world looks at you in your clunker that barely runs and thinks "rich."

have you eaten today? even a little. maybe your on reduced lunch at school. maybe you only get to have PB&J, of store-brand peanut butter, bread and jelly.

3 billion people, 1 billion of whom are children wont eat today. most of the world lives on less than $1 per day. do you have clean drinking water, even if it's from the tap(God for bid we drink from the tap, or <gasp!> the hose)? 1 billion dont have access to fresh dinking water.

the U.S. represents 6% of the world population yet it consumes 40% of it's resourses. experts say it will take about $20 million to supply the entire world with food water and basic health care. the U.S. spends that much per year on Ice Cream.

now, dont get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with wealth in and of itself, but you are blessed in order to bless others. now some of you may be thinking "just tell me where to go, what to give to who and i'll be off the hook and on my way" but it's not that simple, that's not what's meant.. you are to continuously bless. that's what you were called to do.

so go out there and bless God.
