Today, I got an email talking about dolphins that needed rescuing and funding [in order to rescue them, of course.] The group was talking about the large amounts of money they raised and how many times they made rescue missions over oceans and oil spills in order to save this unique species of Dolphin.
It really got me thinking. It honestly almost made me laugh. I just spent a week in the Dominican Republic, in places no one wanted to go. Working in the hot, sweaty, and dangerous conditions. I saw children by the age of two with teeth already rotting. I saw men with pieces of their body missing from fights with machetes.
Who's raising funding for them? who's Traveling to the worst of the worst in order to rescue these kids, these people? Very few. I find it hard to 'Save the whales' when there's people dying slow, painful deaths due to hunger. It becomes a lot more personal having been there.
The wonderful people I went with, All of McLean Bible, as well as the SCORE international people had the most Beautiful Hearts. They cared so much for these people. I hope to some day grow up like them. Mature people of christ, Understanding the great commission like none other. I hope some day, prayerfully, I can become a full time missionary, So i don't ever have to leave the worst of the worst, the poor, the weary, the broken. That honestly would be my dream.

p.s. Don't get me wrong, I love dolphins and all, I just find it hard to believe someone could so easily get an abortion then be so passionate about saving dolphins. It just perplexes me.
