     I know some of you are already a little on edge or more interested in what I have to say because of the title of this blog, and if that is the case--I'm thrilled.  While reading this blog you may get angry and pissed off.  In fact I hope you get angry! Some of you might already be thinking: "Woah Cody do you really need to be saying "pissed" so much, and are you really saying you hope I get angry." If that's the case I hope that by the end of this blog you can understand that there are probably far worse words I could use to describe the things that should make us Christians angry. 

     I say all that to tell you a real account from my time here in Thailand. The other night my team and I went to the red light district. A district known all over the world for prostitutes and sex-slavery.  A place where children can be sold at unbelievably young ages to be bought by pedifiles and perverted people.  While we were standing there I overheard a group of middle-aged white men talking outside of a bar.  The were all smiling and deciding where to go when one of the men turns and says while laughing and smiling, " Hey man, there's your girl right there!" and the both continue to laugh as a prostitute walks by and flirts with them.  Something just roared inside of me, and I simply could not help but clench my fists in my anger.  The evil that we were witnessing was hard to bear.  Most people would get crazy angry at these men, and it is incredibly hard not to be.  But God loves those men.  The fact that the Devil has made these men believe this is okay and deceived them so much is what should make us angry! The justice that is not being served.  That should make us angry! The fact that there is over a billion people in this world that go without clean water every day. That should make us angry!  The fact that children die every day from starvation.  That should make us angry! The fact that girls are raped all over the world every day.  That should make us angry! Do you understand what I am getting at? Do you understand that injustice is everywhere? God hates these things, so shouldn't we? Heck Yes we should! 

     Now I did not just write this blog with the purpose of getting some readers angry and depressing you with all the crap in this world.  I wrote this blog with the hope that Christians will understand that it is good and healthy for us to get angry when we realize the injustice in this world, and it's even better when we                            DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
