As you might know, I am taking a Social Justice course this semester. (It's the last class I have before I graduate! Pray for me!!) This past week I had a very interesting assignment and want to share part of it with you:
We were told to go to the following website
and take a survey which would tell us how many “forced laborers” ( ie: SLAVES)
we have working around the world for us so that we can live our current
lifestyle. I was appalled at my
score. Although I live what I think is
simply, ie: I don’t have a cell phone; I
don’t have cable TV; I recycle; I drive a vehicle with over 200,000 miles on it
etc … I scored a not nice
looking number. :(
Now I am trying to
discern what I need to do so that I can better that score and make it fewer
than before. … God gave us all a dignity
which no other creature He made has. We
are His Image! We are made to commune
with Him. We are made to reflect Him to
others. How can we travel this journey better?
Take the survey. See how you are moved. And if you so desire to chat with me about
it, feel free to do so. We’re all on
this journey together. Let’s ease
someone else’s load if we can!
