On opening night, a few of us traveled down to Carmel to see the movie Amazing Grace. I thought that the team that led the movie did a great job in the costumes, the settings and creating the story line for the movie.
Why am I posting this ....
William Wilberforce's had this "zeal" in him. He had faith, compassion, and courage to stand up against the crowd and to make a difference. To me, even though he encompassed these three attributes, the one that stands out to me and ties all of them in is the following: PASSION
It got me thinking. What is it that I am truly passionate for and am willing to risk everything for ? What would happen if everyone who attends church caught passion to do X,Y,or Z ? What would happen if local churches grabbed ahold of a passion and would not let go ? What could we accomplish ?
For myself, it is Africa. I have had this burning in my heart for Africa since I went there on a mission trip in 2001. So, my journey over the next few months will be what am I going to do ? How am I going to fuel this passion ? What will this passion cause me to do ?
What is your passion ?

Jeff,
God has been speaking to me about the poor a lot lately, and I still don't have a real direction, and I might already be there because my boss is also passionate about the poor and believes that education is the path out of poverty. But I'm just the marketing guy! I don't teach people, I just get the word out! So I wonder if there is more I can do.....
God, continue to bless Tom as he thinks about ministry with the poor. Give him clarity (eyes to see and ears to hear) about his next move.
