Moved to Change
Have you ever felt truly inspired? A moment, an event, a powerful speaker bringing a moving speech, scripture, nature, people, places, things… I’m talking about something that happens in your life that makes you want to be a better, or at least a different, person. I’ve read a lot of books and heard a lot of moving sermons/speeches in my life and some of them caused me to want to change. I got married and wanted to be the best husband that ever lived. I watched the birth of my daughter and my son and both times I felt motivated to be a great example for them. My grandson came along and everything changed as I want to be a positive part of his life. I believe everyone has these same feelings whether we act on them or not. We all feel moved and motivated to change at certain times by specific outside forces. What about when those events and things are absent? What about the times when God is silent, the universe isn’t singing your song, the pain seems to stack up like a swat team on...
