Back to Basics

This has been bothering me for the past couple of days.
I went to a resteraunt with my family in Anchorage and we were all very very hungry. We ordered over an hour ago and our food still had not yet come. We began the process of going around the table and saying how starving we were. After I said it, I instantly felt remorse. No I am not starving, all the people in Africa with no food are starving, all the kids in orphanages that don't take care of the kids very well, are starving. Not me What I have is a simple hanger pain to them. It bothers me how e instantly think that we have it al bad, when we in fact are the most well off in the whole world!! I realized that we need to step it up, and get involved. Its time we stopped complaining, when were not the ones who should be complaining. Our country complains about many things that others would love to have-

Oil Prices. Hey at least we even have a car that runs!
When we don't get food when we want it, we are automatically starving, no we are not starving.
We worry about many things are aren't even that that important that we argue about all the time like the roles of women in church and how much money to put into the plate, how we are going to afford a new church building, why we have to do things that other people don't have to.
Maybe its time we stop worrying about ourselves, but take care of others worries.

I say its time we get back to Basics.

Back to Jesus.
