Perspective

I have been so wrapped up lately that I haven't read news like I usually do. Today I began to tackle the neglected Google Reader. There were over 1000 feeds of things I usually keep up with. I didn't read 1000 articles, blogs, or posts today, but I did make it to this about the flooding in Africa. Here are a few of their stories. I needed perspective outside of KC today and needed to be reminded not to forget. It reminds me of a sermon I heard recently where the pastor said: (paraphrased)

"most of us aren't disobedient because we're out to blatantly reject God; more often than not we are disobedient because we forget."

I guess it takes paying attention to remember well...
