Gettin' Busy

I think it is about time that I started to learn the tent business. You know, I have spent the last year trying to find a Jesus occupation (pardon the phrasing); because I really wanted my life to be centered around helping people and changing the world. However, today, I was reading my book on the life of Paul, and started to think about how, the great Apostle, who gave us a majority of our “theology”, and really helped spread the Christian church more than any other single person, made tents for a living. From what we can tell, he didn't do this because he had to, but because it put him in contact with all sorts of people with whom he could share the “good news” with. So, I think it is about time I started to get into the tent business. Now, obviously, I am not talking about actually making tents here, but hopefully you get the point.

I want to really make a difference in this world, and the best way I see that being possible is to motivate these great institutions, already in place, to exercise their full capacity to really help the world around us. However, me, as one person could never make that change happen alone. But with other, “high named” people pushing the same message, maybe we really could make a difference. Plus, we would have the favor of God behind us, so who could stand in our way.

Now comes the part where I need to just take steps to put myself around the people who, combined in one vision under God, can make a difference.

We are going to do this. The world is going to be a better place. Something good is on the horizon. Just wait, you'll see. :-)
