I am sure that at least one point in your life you have heard about the war going on in Syria. The thing is, what is going on is so much more serious than many people realize. More than 500,000 people have died since the war began and thousands have lost their homes. When I was about 8 or 9 I did a project on Syria that changed my life forever. I heard of children that are so scarred that they cant talk or think and they just stare straight ahead endlessly. I heard of peoples lives getting ended by being shot for fun, by being bombed. Another merciless thing I heard about is called a barrel bomb. A barrel bomb is a barrel that has different compartments and each has a worse item in it. The enemy puts in dynamite, explosive fuel and sharp shard of meatal. When the bomb is dropped it hits the ground in a massive explosion. The shard of metal fly everywhere and leave lasting scars. Many people say they understand what they go through even though they hate the fact that Syrian refugees keep coming over. It makes no sense to me why people can't open their eyes and see what is going on and act on it. The thing I hate the most though is what sin has turned the world into. We now live in a place where people enjoy killing and lying. A world where people turn their backs away from other human beings. It is not our job as Christians to fix the world but to help God fix the people.
