While most of us were caught up in the hype of one of my favorite events of all time, THE SUPERBOWL, the world seemed to slip it's focus away one of the biggest uprising in the Middle East. The crisis happening now in Egypt leaves a great hole in what most Egyptians once thought was a great idea. As I spent hours and days at work reading through Speak to Tweets "Say Now" voice messages from Egypt my heart began to see their need for something more. Something more than politics could ever provide them with. They are searching. I had the opportunity to meet Ken Cochrum who is our Global Led Movements Director at CCCI in the midst of all this happening and all I can remember and reflect on as I pour through article after article is his take on this crisis (this is a summary and collaboration of his thoughts and my own).
People search for God when their hope in people fail. They search when their structures fall and when the life they had that made perfect sense, now seems to be the source of confusion.
How about you? Does your life make sense? Or like the people of Egypt do you seem to have more questions than answers about the life you were so sure was right.
