awakening people to renovate their world in los angeles and beyond
My desire is to awaken people to see reality and help renovate the world in which we live. I write as one in need of much renovation myself. When i think about the city in which I live and the stuff that is happening in our world and my own life, I find myself getting cynical at times. The only thing that really gives me hope for the future is Jesus. For he seems to be the only one who was able to live a life fully faithful to God. Jesus wasn’t like most people, he had a genuine concern for people’s lives. He was willing to confront the fraud and hypocrisy that he found in the religious and political institutions of his day for the sake of the oppressed. As a result, he faced the same punishment every other political dissident faced, death on a cross. So if the best man who ever lived died trying to make the world a better place, what hope is there for us? Why bother doing any good? Because God justified Jesus’ life and mission by raising him from the dead. So now we can experience new life and partner with him in his project to renovate the world. My hope is to pick up the la times and the sacred text, and figure out how to follow Jesus more fully in this world.

i appreciate your thoughts and opinions, but all you have to do is talk with many who know me or those who went with me on the trip to kenya, and you will realize that all of these pictures real, and even more important, the problem of poverty is real.
i understand that we live in a world where technology allows us to create unreal pictures and it makes it confusing to know the difference between reality and illusion. But even more sad to me is how many who think they see reality are in fact living in illusion. my hope is that through these real pictures we will see reality much more clear, but of course there is only one who can open blind eyes.
thanks peter for your thoughts, for they sparked new thoughts in me.
