I've posted two different blogs in the last few months about Michael Angelo, the little boy from the Philippines. Those blogs and that information were not easy reading, and they weren't designed to be. I know it's not fun or appealing to be shaken, even momentarily, from the comfort of our lives. But acknowledging pain and suffering is one thing... doing something about it is entirely another.
For me, it took the face of MA to get to that place. For you, it might be something else... the homeless in your own town.... the child soldiers in Africa... the victims of natural disaster here in the U.S..... whatever it is, I encourage you this year leave yourself open to what finds you and then take it on. This life, this world, is not about us.
The video below is a teaser from an upcoming documentary from the music group Hillsong. Its message is unmistakable, and I can't get enough of it.
A haphazard and inconsistent collection of melodramatic musings and quasi-intelligent insights we've gained in the chaos that is life... how's that for quirky and humble?
