Are you a slactivist, or an activist?

Do you take the easy way out and just sit in your chair and click, or can you be depended upon to be there where the need is? Do you run toward people in need, or away from them?

This morning Colleen demonstrated her character. She was dropping Jon off for day two of his high school experience. She was waiting in line to turn into the parking lot. About four cars ahead of her someone crashed into a car that had four girls riding in it. Jon was told by Colleen to stay in the car and call 911, while Colleen rushed to the car that had been hit, and got all four girls out safely. She was worried that the car might blow up or catch fire.

When Colleen called me to tell me about the incident, she said she was amazed that she was the only adult who rushed to those in need.
