Here are the names of some of the people who died in their plight for freedom. Why is it that we humans want so badly the things that are forbidden or taken away from us, freedom and faith being two great examples? But then when we finally have access or possession of our desire we breath a sigh of relief, assign a lesser value to it and even begin to ignore it or take it for granted. We then tend to shift our attention to a different desire, something else which is just out of our reach for one reason or another. Here in Slovakia I see a surging desire toward the material, what is often times defined in America as "the good life." These are the things which were mostly out of reach for Slovaks and things that many Americans have been taking for granted for many years. Things like houses full of nice furnishings, cars, lavish vacations, fine clothes, jewelry... How can we keep our eyes focused on the real prize found in faith and freedom? How can we stay hungry for the really important things?
