This blog is looking for wisdom, to have and to share. It is also looking for other rare character traits like good humor, courage, and honor. It is not an easy road, because all of us fall short. But God is love, forgiveness and grace. Those who believe in Him and repent of their sins have the promise of His Holy Spirit to guide us and show us the Way.

"It's not what you have. It's what you're able to give."
The University of Colorado is in its sixth straight losing season. However, one of its players has figured out that "It's not what you have. It's what you're able to give." Brian Lockridge, at age 15, finally gave up on trying to live with his divorced parents, and lived with two other families. The second one emphasized community involvement. Brian began to develop purpose. He currently volunteers playing the piano at Boulder Community Hospital, cooking meals and volunteering with homeless people, and volunteers in Spanish with Spanish-speaking children in an after-school program.

Awesome story. Just saw a show wherein a fella from just next door to the projects (his words) parlayed a musical ability into a highly successful online enterprise. Now this is what America is about.
