New Study Finds, AIDS transfered at gas pump

I received number "x+1" in gas e-mails now. Another was added to the list. This one boasted the third major way we can help in decreasing gas prices.

Way 1: Don't by gas for a day, everyone.
Way 2: Only buy from the smaller stations, boycott Exxon Mobil, everyone.
Way 3: Only buy $10 dollars at a time, everyone.

What if people decided that we wanted to stop world hunger, would we think of this many ways? What if we spent as much time thinking about how to love people as we did thinking about how to save 12 cents a gallon at the gas station? What if when we matured enough to think outside of ourselves, it wasn't because we were asking everyone else we know to boycott the gas station, and was for a good cause?

Here is what is funny to me. I've actually asked lots of people this question, including many of the youth at church... If you could sacrifice your life, and by your death you knew AIDS would be cured, would you do it? I have yet to find a person say no. There is something about dying with that kind of glory that seems appetizing to many people. Notice I didn't say that it was about dying for a cause, or a noble case. It really is the glory. I've heard many people who will give their life to end AIDS, but won't choose to abstain until marriage. I've met many people who will organize their life around an e-mail so as to save 8 cents a gallon on gas, but won't make time for their own family or children.

What message does this world need? Where can it come from? Will you live out the answer? Will you prioritize correctly?
