Eye opener

I woke up this morning and picked up the newspaper [yes I actually read it!] and the very first thing that caught me eye; "A better world within our reach?"

I went on to read about McCain and the changes he wants and I was quite pleased with a lot of things he said. But the heading is still the thing that stood out the most to me. A better world within our reach? I was thinking about it, and I realize WHY it's a question, but frankly I don't think it should be. It's not a question; it's a fact. A better world IS IN our reach. All we have to do is help some change. I'm sure everyone has heard the phrase "if you want to change the world start with yourself" and really that's what we need to do. We all look forward to a new president that will help improve the world, but what about what we can do? It's not like we're helpless. And there's so much we CAN do. So why don't we?

Last night at church we had church 2.0 and we got to look at goals and campuses and just overall achievements, and it was so inspiring for me. I'm already extremely involved in stuco, but i could do so much more. For example, triple threat. I have wanted to get involved with that since day 1, and for some reason, i just never have. I don't even have an excuse, i just havent done it. well its time to change THAT, for one thing. But theres so much i can do not only within my church but in my school and my community. and I want to do it. I really feel God moving in me to reach out more to people around me, not only the kids that go or i invite to stuco.

time to step up, eh?
