island view…

For those of you in America still sleeping… Friday is going to be a beautiful day!!  The sun is up the sky’s are clear and the waves are pulsing.  It is a rather odd thing to blog on a computer (not my computer) in a third world country, where the cost of this machine is more than an average villager makes in a year.  Here, the average daily income fluctuates around $4-$5 a day… which seems upsurd but is enough for the average family to live on… though not luxuriously as we American’s are accustomed to.  It is a sobering place, a place that continues to drive me to the scriptures and to the words in red.  A place that causes my mind to wrestle with spiritual, economical, and social issues and a place that causes my selfish habits to cry out in want (A/C anyone?).  It is a place I wish many could see, so that they too may have their ‘comfort’ paradigm shifted and their ’Western’ perspective challenged.

This island view is beautifully sobering.
