Invisible Children


I knew it was going to happen. I have to admit I even tried to prevent it, but of course it happened. It is really not that bad of thing, but it just makes me a little uncomfortable, actually it makes me really uncomfortable... I started doing a little research on a film I heard about called Invisible Children, and now I can't stop thinking about it. Basically three guys my age got on a plane flew to Africa to make a film about these Invisible Children. Children that were being kidnapped, by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) and forced to become warriors, killers for an army that is claiming to fight in the "name of God." All this is going on in Northern Ugandan on a daily basis!!!

It is so removed from my every day life. I don't have to worry about anything close to the terror that these families face on a daily basis. I sleep in a nice comfy bed, I have plenty of food, I just really can't imagine what it is like to worry about issues this serious and terrifying on a daily basis. So now I have to bring some discomfort into my life, my wife and I have to ask what can we do for these people who are suffering half a world away?
