[Mike Todd is frustrated](http://miketodd.typepad.com/waving%5For%5Fdrowning/2006/07/theological%5Ffru.html?ref=dashhouse.com):

> No on is talking about Israel and Lebanon. Come to think of it, no one is talking about Palestine.

> No one is talking about Iraq.  
> No one is talking about Sudan.  
> No one is talking about HIV/AIDS.  
> No one is talking about Afghanistan.  
> No one is talking about global warming.  
> No one is talking about corporate greed.  
> No one is talking about the minimum wage.  
> No one is talking about corrupt politicians and regimes.  
> No one is talking about starvation and our overflowing garbage cans.  
> No one is talking about the millions (in their own countries) living below the poverty line.

> No one is talking about what it means to be a follower of Christ in this environment, at this time.

[Stephen Shields agrees](http://faithmaps.blogspot.com/2006/07/resonating-with-mike-todd-regarding.html?ref=dashhouse.com). What is a Christian to do right now? I wish the answers were easier.

It reminds me of the line in Hotel Rwanda: “I think if people see this footage, they’ll say, ‘Oh God, that’s horrible!” and then go on eating their dinners.’ ” It’s so easy to be disturbed and then return to more pressing matters.

Maybe people aren’t talking about Israel and Lebanon…but I hope they’re praying at the very least. Your Kingdom come.
