I am a born again Christian who works as a pharmacist in assisting patients to manage their diabetes. My three passions in life are Jesus, social justice, and diabetes management. Almost everyday I am amazed by how much Jesus loves me. I said almost everyday because there are days when my arrogance takes over and I do not think of the cross. Often I do not recognize this pride until I look to Jesus again. At which point I recognize how far I have fallen, repent and refocus on Jesus, the author of my salvation. I do not have diabetes but I have strong family history of it. Everyday I have to be mindful of the decisions I make regarding what and how much I eat and exercise to prevent diabetes. I claim to have a passion for social justice but to be honest, I do very little about it. While I am indignant by discrimination, I am most saddened by people how have to leave their home in the name of ethnic cleansing, new regime in power, fear of life,... When parents have to leave everything they own, run away to keep their children from being a child solider or a gang member and we turn a blind eye to the problem or we keep our door closed because it is an inconvenience, what is going to be our defense when we stand in front of the judgement throne? (If you think as a Christian, there is no judgement throne for you, read 2. Corinthians 5:10. Paul was writing this to Corinthian church - a body of believers.) I am constantly torn between refugees and what our country's economy can afford. I hope someday God will give me the wisdom to act on this in a manner acceptable to God. Occasionally I wonder whether Americans of this century will be viewed the same way we view Nazis. PS, I know I am not a good writer but I hope you are able to understand what I am saying.
