How much s a trillion?

There is a lot of talk in the news these days about budget deficits an increased spending. They keep throwing this "trillion" word around. I think the reason the government spends like crazy is because we as a people have lost a true sense of what a trillion is. It is such a remote and detached number that we can't fathom its implications. Sure we are bothered, but not really. I think spiritually we lose sense of the enormity of this battle we are in as well. We can't really grasp the number of people who don't know Christ...so we just do our thing. Sure we are bothered, but not really. I pray god would help us have a concrete realization of how many people need God.

FYI: Here's what a trillion looks like - 1,000,000,000,000
