Fix these, and the need to "sponsor a child" or "buy fair trade" is reduced substantially.<br /><br />People might be fed up with the apparently unfair distribution of wealth around the world and within countries, but people are just as sick of nanny states and religious do-gooders who have a shallow understanding of economics, free markets and small but appropriate government.<br /><br />If God wants to do something, then the most appropriate course of action is to let God do it Himself. After all, if He created the Universe then He should have no problem carrying out His will. Stop trying to second guess God - just leave God alone.Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639308185701880635.post-80854847478109180102009-08-24T18:32:54.805+10:002009-08-24T18:32:54.805+10:00Hey Danielle, thanks for mentioning us in your blo...Hey Danielle, thanks for mentioning us in your blog. That's pretty cool. Your teaching was so refreshing and I thank God for your voice as part of the discourse we're having about advocacy for chidren. I know your contribution is going to help us at Compassion navigate this territory and see grasshoppers instead of giants all the time (or at the least give us a couple of extra slingshots and stones maybe). Thanks again.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09528972029573036141noreply@blogger.com
