Building is progressing at the OMNI center. Half of the garden there has been covered with cardboard, bamboo leaves, and mulch. This will help condition the soil. We are expecting a load of mulch soon, which can be used to cover what is left. I figure as there is a great lack of initiative and volunteer support, if we just cover the soil and plant some conditioning crops like clover, in the future when there is hopefully more support, the garden can be further developed.

I have been thinking about the great lack of care that our society seems to be content with. What does it take for people to be moved to act, moved to care, moved to take a stand and go the distance it takes to make a difference. Jesus had to go all the way to the cross, sacrificing his life not only up there, but all through out his life because he did not give in to the sins of the world.
Yet we can not even go outside our comfort zone to help? The sad fact is that things will continue to worsen to the point where it becomes black and white - either you will choose to stand for what is right, or you will allow yourself to be content with false securities. Will you care about the state of your soul, and the souls of others?

Earthquakes in Haiti, terroristic attacks in the Middle East, genocide in Africa, satanic drug-based cults in Mexico, homeless people in the town you live in right now, utter environmental destruction in China and all over the world, fear of oppression from corporate powers in the country you live in now.

Is this harsh? Yes. Is it true? Yes.

The question is will you just sit back and be ok with it. Will you be comfortable with the fact that you can take out loans, or please the right people, and get through college and know that you will have a house and a car and nice clothes and maybe some trips overseas someday.
I am not comfortable with that. I don't need that. The truth is God has moved in my life so I know that no matter what I do, I will do it for Him, whatever that may cost. I am one person. You are one person. Many people can make a change. And God is all powerful. With God ALL things are possible!

It is not a question of will these problems be addressed, because Jesus will return. The question is this:
What side are you on, and how far are you willing to go?
