My Two Cents Worth on the World Vision Discussions In March 2014 

Because the kids I sponsor with World Vision are real kids, I am not planning to throw them under the bus even though I might like to get off the bus. I will complete the commitment I have made to them. At least the USA office has clarified their stand. It's helpful information to have when making future decisions. Giving a cup of water in the name of the Lord is a good thing. Giving a cup of water without taking the Lords name in vain is even better. If the organizations that continue to seek to do both, end up benefitting from a renewed awareness and commitment from Christians who feel so strongly about the recent issues being debated, that they start really getting behind those other groups with real $acrificial $upport, I don't imagine World Vision will be upset. From what I can see they are not trying to be the only organization seeking to provide solutions to poverty and other social ills. I doubt they will be seen picketing the other groups offices . Imagine if they ( WV) were put out of business by effective Christian compassion efforts rather than by withdrawn support? Now that would be a win!
I personally challenge every vociferous follower of Christ to compare their tax receipt for last years donations toward the problems of world hunger and homelessness to their annual bills for cable/satellite and cell phones alone and think long and hard about what Christian values really are in real time.

I was listening to something that was a favorite song of mine when I was an 18 year old ( Listen HERE)
Made me nostalgic for the days before " Worship Band " became the new label for Christian Rock, and all the artists wore the same v neck t-shirts, had the same tattoos to prove how authentic they were, wore their wifes jeans and sold CD's full of "Jesus is My Boyfriend" worship songs.
Maybe I am just a crotchety old 51 year old but I used to love songs that really spoke about the struggle, still do.

The Struggle Written by Glen Kaiser

Sometimes you scare me by what you cause me to see, and I'm afraid of knowing who I am,
Although you've changed me, there's still a whole lot of old wineskin, and to open up would destroy the me I'm afraid to show,
But one part of me doesn't want to grow, but I'm tired of this lingering winter, 
Tired of ground so hard and cold,
Plough your way through - I'm asking you to, oh, Jesus,
Lord, you're my only hope.

Without you, I can't face myself,
Without you, I can't face myself,
Without you, I can't face myself,
Without you.

My pride wants me to hide inside myself, but I love you, Lord, and I don't want our love put on the shelf,
I'm tired of fighting to be what I am,
Jesus, make me what you want me to be,
Because of you, I desire reality,
A love for you is what I'm dying to receive,
Though I hate what I am, I understand that you've promised me,
You've promised me freedom in your truth, and I'll be ready to face myself when I've faced you.

Without you, I can't face myself,
Without you, I can't face myself,
And I'll be ready, ready to face myself when I face you.
