Living in Hell

11/23/2008

In my short life I have had the opportunity to travel to a number of different countries. And in each of the countries I have been able to see how and where people live. I have seen the homes of the rich and famous and have seen the homes of the poorest of poor.

When I was 11 my family and I attended Youth With A Mission. With this missions group we traveled to and around Asia for three months. One of the most memorable places we visited, on this outreach, was the Philippines. To this day I can remember the smells, the smiles and the beauty of the people and the country.

Manila is home to an estimated 19,150,000 people and is the most densely populated city in the Philippines. With all those people crammed into one area there are hundreds of thousands of “homeless,” as 33% of the population of the city live below the poverty line. Everywhere you drive the roads are lined with tin roofed makeshift shacks.

If living on the side of a major highway is not enough, you can drive down said highway to place called Payatas. Payatas is the home of the Metro Manila dump. This place is not only a dump, but it is home to approx. 10,000 people. That’s right there are 10,000 men, women and children living on a dump. Without seeing it, it is hard to believe that people can live like that, but they do. There are whole neighborhoods formed on the dump. These neighborhoods include homes, and believe it or not stores. For the longest time I thought that this was one of the worst places to live, but then I heard of a worst place.

What can be worse than living with your family living on a dump? How about living in hell, literally? Also in Manila, Philippines there is a place called the Manila Northern Cemetery and believe it or not there are approx. 10,000 men, women and children living in the cemetery. If living in a cemetery isn’t bad enough the cemetery is so overcrowded (by dead) that every five years the crypts are broken open and the bones are thrown on the ground. Children live and play amongst the bones and skulls of the dead.

Don’t believe me, watch this video by Bill Wilson of Metro Ministries.

It’s hard for me to believe that there are people that live like this, but I have seen life on the dump first hand. It’s encouraging to know that there are people, like Bill Wilson and others, that are doing what they can to help these marginalized people.

What Can You Do?

You to, can help, by going to the Metro Ministries website and making a donation, or by sponsoring a child.

Questions: Pro-Life or Pro Choice?

11/16/2008

I got to thinking today about the whole abortion issue.  There are a couple of different stances on the issue. You have:

Pro-choice describes the political and ethical view that a woman should have complete control over her fertility and the choice to continue or terminate a pregnancy. This entails the guarantee of reproductive rights, which includes access to sexual education; access to safe and legal abortion, contraception, and fertility treatments; and legal protection from forced abortion. Individuals and organizations who support these positions make up the pro-choice movement. 

(from Wikipedia)

and: 

Pro-life is a term representing a variety of perspectives and activist movements inbioethics. It most commonly (especially in the media and popular discourse) refers to opposition to abortion and support for fetal rights. The term describes the political and ethical view which maintains that fetuses and embryos are human beings, and therefore have a right to live. Less commonly, it can be used to indicate opposition to practices such as euthanasia, the death penalty, human cloning, and research involving human embryonic stem cells.

Now I have grown up in a Christian environment, and the church definitely leans toward the Pro-Life side of the argument.

Today I started to wonder, for wonderings sake, if there could be a middle ground for everyone to meet on?

Here is the question I have and I would like your thoughts on the subject.

Is it possible to be both pro-life and pro-choice? Or do you have to choose a side?

Is it possible that as a Christian I could hold both side of the argument to be true. Ultimately it is the right of the woman to choose, but on the other hand all human life is sacred.

Just my thoughts!

The Faceless Heros of Rememberance Day

11/11/2008

I must admit that while I was in school I thought that Remembrance Day was boring. I was always annoyed by having to stand in silence for a minute.

As I have grown up and matured, I have realized the importance of this day in our worlds history. A moment of silence is really not enough to remember these soldiers by.

November 11, 1918 was marked in history as the end of World War I.  During that war more than 64,000 Canadian men and women were killed in battle. These men and women died so that you and I could have the freedom we enjoy today.  Without the sacrifices of these now faceless heroes, who knows what our world would look like.

More over in 1939 Canada again took its place in World War 2. During WW2 there more that 45,000 Canadian military deaths. Again the men and women of the Canadian Armed forces put their lives on the line so that we could enjoy the freedom that Nazi Germany and their allies were trying to take away.

There have been many more wars since the two so called “great wars,” including the current War on Terror. All of these wars have taken a significant told on Canadian families. And even today, as our men and women fight for the freedom from the oppression of the Taliban, there are Canadian families that receive the bad news that a family member has passed away.  These men and women are heroes in the truest sense of the word.

I don’t know any of these men and women personally, but I do know that they did not die in vain. Far to often we forget about the men and women that came home with permanent injuries, they are our heroes as well.

On this November day in 2008 – we say:

To All Who Fought and Died: WE, IN CANADA, SALUTE YOU!!!

To All Who Fought and Lived: WE, IN CANADA, THANK YOU!!!
