I am sad about what happened in Colorado. Its very sad, very wrong. Seems a big deal in the news and on facebook, about gun control and your opinions about it. I know it is important, I know. 
But with all my heart, I wish we would get angry about "the least of these" before all else. About little orphans with special needs laying their life away in cribs in mental institutions in far away parts of the world like caged animals. I wish our world demanded a fight for them, I wish we would fight for them. I wish I were farther along spiritually, mentally and emotionally to give all the talents God has blessed me with back in exchange for just one of these babies to care for. But I am weak, praying for the day I am not. I wish this was the center of all things in this world, the care for the least of these. Am I my brother's keeper? Am I? This mother is, and she blows me away.

I get countless comments or "likes" on facebook when I post a picture of Floyd, or write a comment about something trivial but I rarely get a comment or a "like" when I blog about these kids.
Why is that? Does it make you feel uncomfortable? Do you not know what to say?
Or maybe its just that no one is reading this, I don't know.

Every time you think about Colorado this week, every time you who pray pray for the victims and their families, will you also pray for the children who need homes? Who are so neglected and forgotten?
Despised in their country to the point of death?
Will you please pray for them too?
