Kony 2012

If you haven't watched the Kony 2012 video, it is fantastic and you should watch it. Just go to Youtube and search "Kony 2012" and it should be the first result.

I love what these people are doing. They are taking something that they care about, and making sure the word gets out that this kind of injustice is still in the world. What Joseph Kony is doing is wrong and it is ridiculous that it has taken this long to get the word out about him.

One thing that these people said in their video is that it was their goal to "Make Joseph Kony famous." A friend of mine retweeted Katie Davis today, and she said, "I say, let's make Jesus famous." That has been on my mind a lot today. You know, maybe if Jesus was famous, this guy wouldn't be doing this kind of stuff to children, or at least it wouldn't have lasted as long as it has. Maybe if Jesus was famous, 9/11 wouldn't have happened. Maybe if Jesus was famous, the holocaust wouldn't have happened. We can't keep our minds in the past, but what we can do is look at the past and learn from it. Then we have to look forward to make sure nothing like these tragedies will ever happen again. Jesus could have stopped any of this if He wanted to, but you know what I think He is doing? I think He is giving us opportunities to make Him famous, and us being our worldly selves try to make others famous. So through this, I say let's make Jesus famous. We are called to be witnesses everywhere (Acts 1:8), so let's do it, and by doing it, make Him famous.

Make Jesus famous.
