Poverty...

There's a power in poverty that breaks principalities
And brings the authorities down to their knees
There's a brewing frustration, an ageless temptation
To fight for control by some manipulation

But the God of the kingdoms and the God of the Nations
The God of creation sends this revelation
The the homeless and penniless Jesus the son
The poor will inherit the Kingdom to come

Where will we turn when our world falls apart
And all of the treasures we've stored in our barns
Can't buy the Kingdom of God?
Who will we praise when we've praised all our lives
men who build Kingdoms and men who build fame?
Heaven does not know thier names
What will we fear when all that remains
Is God on His throne, with a child in his arms,
and love in his eyes
And the sound of his heart cries

This is a song by Jason Upton on his album "Faith."  I was listening to it
on my iPod on the way home from Uganda and it was like "wow."
I think it pretty much speaks for itself.  Especially after you've seen poverty.
Real poverty.  So, for those of you who haven't had the chance to see real poverty yet, here's some pictures
that don't nearly do justice to the real thing.   













These are some kids that were at the petrol station on the way to Entebbe. 













These are the ladies that cooked the food for the pastor's conference the first week we were there.
