(ignore)ance

This week I have come across a few very ignorant people. Quite ignorant actually. I had a conversation with someone who didn't know "what Darfur is" and also someone who didn't know that AIDS was running rampant in Africa.
I was shocked that people could be so ignorant. At the root of ignorance is the word ignore and I started to wonder what type of things I ignore in my life all the time. I choose to ignore so many things, and so many realities that are a large part of others' lives. Many times I say a believe in something, when in practice I do not. What are we, as Christians choosing to ignore everyday that are tearing apart our minds/lives/bodies and negating our testimonies? That's about it. Happy 4th of July my fellow Americans.
