One area of life that I seferely lack in is concern for the poor.  Well, the concern is there – the action isn’t.  So I have been looking for ways to fix that and get involved in changing the world and all that crazy big vision stuff.

I came across one site that seems to be a start in the right direction: ReFrom-Now.org.  You can read their mission statement to see why I finding this group interesting:

http://www.reform-now.org/Vision.aspx

It’s just a start, but I am interested to see where this group goes.  I love this statement from the vision page: “A reformer is an agent of social change, a person who will never be satisfied with a complacent status quo society that’s destined for destruction.” I am also taking an interest in kiva.org – Katie and I are looking in to profiles there to see who we want to support.

One thing that I have noticed in some Evangelical circles – an opposition to concepts like global warming.  I get that some of the evidence out there indicates that global warming might not be that real of a threat. Or that human acitvities might not be contributing to it.  To that I say – so what?  Even if smog doesn’t harm us or kill ozone or even come from human activities, pollution still irritates and annoys and I just don’t see how that is good stewardship of our planet.  So get over the bickering over details and let’s clean this place up!
