" PULITZER PRIZE " photo taken in 1994 during the Sudan famine. The
picture depicts a famine stricken
child crawling towards a UN food
camp, located a kilometer away. The
vulture is waiting for the child
to die so that it can eat
it. No one knows what happened to
the child, including the
photographer who left the place as
soon as the photograph
was taken. Three months later he committed suicide.
But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the
sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to
the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose
sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain
Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that
comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the
righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. I want to know
Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing
in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to
attain to the resurrection from the dead.
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have
already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for
which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself
yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is
behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal
to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ
Jesus.
Phil 3:7-14
I got this WHOLE entry
from Jonathan. Sorry Jonathan for stealing everything. BUT I did so cuz
the world needs to know and not take ANYTHING for granted of what they
have. After I saw this, I told myself that as many people as possible
need to see and read this. Give Jonathan credit for making this entry,
not that it even matters. The point is that we should all think deep
into this. DAG man....
