Kony 2012

So Sunday night a group paid a visit to CrossPointe Community Church. This group has been in the Jones County area before, but this time they meant business. In the year 2012, Mayans predict the world will end, and probably some crazy people will jump on the crazy bandwagon and predict many wild and crazy happenings.A group that has gained much popularity in the past few years has made a prediction that some may deem crazy: to stop a man named Joseph Kony. His name doesn't resonate like Saddam Hussein or Osama bin Laden, but his acts and deeds are just as atrocious and formidable. For 26 years, Joseph Kony has tortured the people of Uganda, forcing children into his army, forcing children to kill. He has largely gone unchecked, but this year the Invisible Children organization has decided to close the curtain on Kony's reign of terror and injustice. I have attached a link that will explain this with better visuals and words than I can  muster.

Without further adieu, follow this link --> http://vimeo.com/invisible/kony2012

Lesson for today: Action isn't always action-packed. Action is doing something, whether it is physically reaching out, or using your voice to reach out to everyone and sending a message. This can be used for good or evil, and ultimately, that choice is yours.
