This short post is an accumulation of many things I have had thoughts on posting about. I have very strong opinions about many aspects of our world/country. and many of them are what is wrong, and what should or should not be done. I though many times do not widely share those opinions, the main reason being I am not actually doing anything to help initiate or make any changes.
Well these past couple weeks I have felt convicted to get involved somehow, to find a way to make change, or at least try and make an impact. The probelm is I have not an idea where to start, and I have no idea which of my various issues need to be focused on. So I have been looking for oppotunities, to use the few usefull skills I have been blessed with, to make an impact.
I have identified two of my biggest issues with society. 1. Our political system, and 2, America's selfish and prideful nature. Now there is no way I can make any huge impact on either of those, but what impact I can make needs to start with gaining knowledge of why these two things are the way they are, finding ways to show what changes I think can happen and what if anything I can do to make an impact.
First off I HATE politics, with a passion, but even with that disdain, I need to be knowledgable of how the system works if I want to even try to get involved in change. So next month I plan on attending city council meetings. Just a start.
Then I am going to find ways through my church, to get involved in community and missions. Starting with the greatest life group of all at Lakepointe Church in Rockwall.
This way even if my impact is that of a BB pellet shot at an elephant, at least I can say I have gotten off my Azz and tried, unlike 99% of the other people out there whining.
