what can we do?

what you can and what you will do is pretty relative to what is going on about you. i live in an easy world. somethings that are very easy seem hard because my world is so easy. but here we are in a post holiday cycle of trying to fix our indulgence and everyone seems to be struggling to have the heart for it. i want to say 'waaa.' and remind myself that i lost 50 sumpin pounds a while back, when i'm stuggling with the pain creeping into my joints from my own lack of self discipline of late.
if i lived in an anti-Christian 3rd world country, my choices and my struggles would be quite different. eating more vegetables for my health would not be as big a problem as finding disease free water to drink, but then perhaps i would never know the water i was drinking was infecting and killing me. as it is, i have clean sanitized water and i use a filter to get the stuff that was destroyed in the sanitizing out. i'm sorry, it really is an issue.
when i read hate speech sections that have been added to the various eula agreements recently, i know it's part of my world infection that will eventually destroy my first amendment rights from the non-legistative side but my world is easy and it seems so justified. i have no need for hate speech regulation and yet, i understand what it will do to us -from the inside.
i heard a report on world famine projections based on weather problems world wide and the measures that quite probably will be needed to deal with it in the very near future. my mind said 'hmmm. it is coming. why am i surprised?'
my desire and need are to pull into my God so that I will still be able to hear his voice when hearing that voice may truly bring social and even physical jeopardy. in the beginning of LOTR, the words are spoken "a thousand years passed and some things were forgotten that should not have been forgotten." i hear that a lot in my spirit these days.
