'what do i do with that?'

Im in a position where i want to educate people on the realities of the brokeness in our world, especially some of the hurts that are so close.  I have no idea what the urban world is like, i have been involved for only a few weeks.  I dont know the roots, the people, the reasons and im not going to pretend like i do.  i have been exposed to many of the issues that plague denver which has given rise to tension within me, as to what i do about it. 

Does everyone have to work on the front lines of the issues?

If i know that Jesus spent his entire life with 'the least of these' and the 'unworthy' what does that mean for my life?

What does it mean to wade in our own pain?

Does awareness bring change?  Does it bring reality to situations... and does that matter to people anymore?


The voice and direction i feel most led is to educate people, like me, to the realities of the pain and brokeness that is drowning the human race.  Sure i might bring light to a specific group that is suffering, but my hope is that the equation of awareness and integration in specific issues will ignite a fire in all of us.  I desire to see people love and take care of one another.  What if spending time with the homeless allowed you to see something entirely new within yourself?  What if the exposure with one sub group of the 'least of these' ignited a passion within you for a completely different group or brokeness.  Like i said before... I will continue to show you things when i learn about them.  When i learn some of the issues and catch glimpses into the lives of the broken, i will share. 

I want to educate, not spread guilt.  My eyes are just now being opened to these realities and i desire to share my perspectives...
