And regardless of whether it's possible to eradicate poverty, and even knowing that it only happens within God's sovereign will, it is still an incredibly sad reality for so many children. That's why I title these posts "perspective" - these are the pictures I need to remember when I am tempted to complain about my circumstances.

If we can't sustain a percentage of the population, that percentage dies. (I'm not saying we shouldn't care...but it does make sense to me.)
