I'll be going to Ireland this week, and I'm uncovering within myself a huge bias against Europeans. In my mind, if you live in a developed country, and you don't believe in God, you're just stubborn. I've been in places where raw sewage runs in the street...places where people have no idea when they will eat their next meal. In those places, Christianity seems to thrive. So, now I'm faced with a people who, by comparison, are wealthy (at least, they have electricity and running water). Somewhere rooted in my own self righteousness is the notion that that should be enough to prove that God provides. I guess the more people have, the more they're convinced a) they deserve it and b) it's theirs. So, who are the poor ones again?

About Me
- Name: Chitchat
- Location: Nashville, Tennessee, United States
I am nothing apart from grace. I am worthy only by imputation. My only value has been given to me at great price. The love I receive is due another. The wrath I deserve, he accepted.
