The Hunger Games
Have you read or seen The Hunger Games?. Like the Biblical Moses and Jesus, Katniss ignores outside forces to stand up for people yearning for liberation. Like Jesus, she comes from a marginal region of her society where miners cut coal from the earth. She offers her life to save her sister, and she goes on the sacrifice herself to save her friends and ultimately the whole civilization.

Asking Real Questions
“Why should I pray, and what should I pray for?” I pray to help open my mind to wisdom and my heart to compassion. The only thing I pray for is the ability to embrace life with courage, kindness, justice, creativity, and love. This works for me; you will have to decide for yourself.
