"The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children."
Bonhoeffer
Hwne you have a cause that is bigger than you, it give you a life and energy that is outside of your normal restrictions. I have a passion for something and that is rare. I have hidden it for fear. Well now the fire has been lit, and the plan of action is in the works. I long for a pure heart and motives in all that I am doing. Too often the choice is lead, shutup, walk away, or be ineffective and numb. That is not acceptable now. Not enough.
It is amazing how fearful I am of stepping up and claiming what is in my heart with confidence. The impact of an event is felt in its aftermath. What happened? Or what has changed?
Actions should and must be taken to be Christ to the community and to make up for lost time. Not for our sake or the church's ...but for Christ. It is time to stand up and stand by those in need. Whether on a national, international level, or the guy standing next to me in line, I need to reflect Christ to them in everything I do. He has been slandered by my actions and words long enough. Call me out everyone. Keep me accountable...

"Will I be different now or the same?
Have even learned anything?
...or was it just a way to spend a day or two set aside for thinking thoughts about you.
If that's all it was I had a good time.
But that won't be enough for me.
Not this year or anytime soon!"
