the difference

The difference between me and the people I'm serving - it's staggering.  It's not fair.  It plagues me.  I think about it often.

Because I can choose to live in Haiti, but they can't choose to live in America.
I can choose to fast, but they can't choose to eat 3 square meals.
I can choose to live closer to their level, but they can't choose to live closer to my American life.
I can choose not to have so many things, but they can't choose to have them.

Sometimes, I hope to leave you with a question rather than all the answers.

But just maybe, this is why Jesus says it's so hard for the rich man to make it into heaven.

And I am the rich man.
