eating our dinners

i watched the movie Hotel Rwanda last night which told the story of the Hutu's and Tutsi's during the genocide that took place in 1994. it is one of the best movies i have seen in a long time and it is a truly inspiring story. when confronted with what people would do when they saw the footage on television, a journalist replied:
"I think if people see this footage, they’ll say, oh my god that’s horrible, and they will go on eating their dinners.”
the same could probably be said with us when we saw the footage of the tsunami in asia, the eathquake in pakistan or the hurricanes along the gulf coast. faith without works is dead. i pray that the above quote will not be true of us. let us love one another this new year.
