Some of the stories coming from Syria are heart-wrenching. It's so difficult to fathom what they are going through. I wonder how long this will continue and how people are alright with the world we live in today. I know this post doesn't provide any solutions but I just wanted to write something. I don't understand what level of hatred one needs to reach to be ok with this. It's probably not human.

Played football twice on the same day. Don't remember the last time I got to do that. Aah! Simple pleasures.

I'll be the first to confess that I don't share the same level of faith as others do. It's easy to say I surrender everything to Christ but this journey teaches us what surrender really means. Most times I feel I cannot reach that level. But it's not about me. It's about Him in the end.

I have the humility to accept I don't know much but I do know that I wish this world was a better place to live in. I am thankful to God that he has made me a generally happy person but at times it becomes very difficult to ignore/disregard the problems people go through. And I am not talking about mundane stuff. Serious cancer stuff, man. I hate to say it but I don't understand how something good can come out of a 7 year old suffering from cancer. But He knows. He suffers with her and He is good. That's worth hanging on to.
