"I Refuse" to be indifferent

Happy May!!
 Having a blog makes me want to share some deep insights in what's going on around the world, but I really just wanted an outlet to share things closer to home. I have found that even events that happen half way around the world touch us in our homes. The devastating tornadoes in southers USA have shaken up families I know, earthquakes in Japan affected friends and family, wars in other countries also have touched family and friends.
 Singer Josh Wilson wrote a song called "I Refuse"(lyrics below)  which addresses the epidemic of indifference. To wait for someone else to rise up and help others instead of moving out of our comfort zone. I am just as guilty, and have decided to help whenever possible. That's the only 'deep insight' I have to offer, Let's help others in need. Even if it means listening to a person you know loves to talk (a lot) because they are so lonely. (yes, I have someone in mind).
God Bless <3

 Josh Wilson, I Refuse
Sometimes I
I just want to close my eyes
And act like everyone's alright
When I know they're not

This world needs God
But it's easier to stand and watch
I could say a prayer and just move on
Like nothing's wrong

But I refuse
'Cause I don't want to live like I don't care
I don't want to say another empty prayer
Oh, I refuse

To sit around and wait for someone else
To do what God has called me to do myself
Oh, I could choose
Not to move but I refuse

I can hear the least of these
Crying out so desperately
And I know we are the hands and feet
Of You, oh God

So, if You say move
It's time for me to follow through
And do what I was made to do
Show them who You are

'Cause I don't want to live like I don't care
I don't want to say another empty prayer
Oh, I refuse

To sit around and wait for someone else
To do what God has called me to do myself
Oh, I could choose
Not to move but I refuse

To stand and watch the weary and lost
Cry out for help
I refuse to turn my back
And try and act like all is well

I refuse to stay unchanged
To wait another day, to die to myself
I refuse to make one more excuse

'Cause I don't want to live like I don't care
I don't want to say another empty prayer
Oh, I refuse

To sit around and wait for someone else
To do what God has called me to do myself
Oh, I could choose
Not to move but I refuse

I refuse
I refuse
