Orphanage

As much as reality seems to have its way with me, I tend to be a big dreamer.
Lately especially you should live in my head.
I spend half of my time just thinking lately.
The last couple of mornings it has been awfully hard to get up and get out of bed.
You know those days when you don't want to waste your very valuable time on this earth, but you also see no point in getting out of bed to continue your routine.
So, lately I've found myself laying in bed just thinking or contemplating or dreaming.
So, I work at a jewelry store and I also work at this factory job.
Both tend to offer a lot of time to think, especially the factory job.
There, you have two options: you think or you don't think.
Sometimes zoning out has it's benefits, but I usually use the time to think.
Anyway, what do I think about?
I generally dream.
Which is funny to say as usually when I'm dreaming, I don't think of it as dreaming.
I think of it as something that will come true, reality permitting.
Or I hope it will come true.
Man, I have TOO much time to dream.
So, my dream right now...is for an orphanage in Thailand.
More specifically, I want to open an orphanage in Thailand.
So, instead of doing homework as I ought to be doing, I Googled "How to open an orphanage in Thailand," researched Rosetta Stone Thai learning software, and looked up a ticket to Thailand.
The Google result came back neither dismal nor joyful.
I actually didn't delve deep enough to find any really useful information.
The Rosetta Stone Software came back to me at $219.
And the ticket at over $1500.
So, I would still classify my thoughts of Thailand to be a dream, but I'm still pretty enthuised about it.
I've been dreaming this dream and praying for it for a couple of months now.
Yesterday at church, one lady stood up and asked for prayers for some of our missionary friends in South Asia.
They said that Christians are being persecuted heavily there.
Things are really heating up and Churches, houses, and orphanages have been burnt down.
I can't honestly say that I was really tuned in until I heard that.
That evoked my tears.
How could anyone light fire to an orphanage?
