Do you know of any companies that said “sorry” to the public… when they weren’t getting sued for something? For instance, like Microsoft apologizing to the public with a statement “we are sorry for the troubles we’ve caused you,” and then gave you something to prove it… like Windows 7 for free? Not that that’s actually happening- in fact they’re selling Windows 7 for a little cheaper for a limited time, but it wasn’t an apology, it was a sales tactic. How about the government? What would we do if Congress publicly apologized to citizens for misrepresenting them? I wouldn’t know what to do with myself. I probably wouldn’t do anything since it’s still so disconnected with my everyday life, but has it happened? I know they’ve “served us,” but have they ever apologized to us for something they did wrong?
Are you married? If you’re married- do you feel like God’s paired you with the perfect person to complement you? You’d know the saying- “you complete me,” and I think that’s how God pairs us with soulmates- that God pairs a driver and a navigator. The driver is good at getting lost and the navigator is good at keeping them unlost; together, they make a good team and together they intend to stay on track. If you’re not married or dating, then God bless you and your GPS and may you both live a happy life. With football, you have a quarterback, some receivers, some defense, and a kicker. The kicker is good at kicking, the defense is good at defending, the receivers are good at catching, and the quarterback is good at being tackled. Together, they make a good team and together they intend to win the game.
I thought it was entirely appropriate to talk about the subject of giving when our mission team was coming back from New Orleans. I’ve had the honor of going on this trip once two years ago, and then last year going to Africa, and maybe sometime within a year me and my wife Celia may be going to Mozambique. Africa was an incredible experience and I highly recommend that all of you take a risk, do something without thinking so much about it, and just go somewhere. Get out of the US and go to South America or Asia or Africa- open your eyes to a culture other than ours. It’ll make you think about how 1) blessed we are 2) self-cursed we are.
This is a video developed for an organization about making choices that better the lives of individuals in the community around you. I love it, it’s a bit odd and somewhat dark with a childish cartoony animation- so all that together makes the video interesting to watch. I haven’t really heard much about United Way (which my wife tells me that I’m just uninformed. I must’ve lived under a rock). Here’s my opinion on it: this organization is awesome– it’s just lacking one thing.
