beyond the neon forest

martin luther king never changed the country.
he affected the people around him, and in doing so,
changed our nation.

i can vote for obama, mccain or ronald mcdonald.
they are not responsible for me.
i am responsible for me.
i cannot run to the government to take care of me.
i need to make sure i can provide for myself.

the government is here to protect us,
not to allow us to be lazy and have them make decisions for us.

i cannot and will never change my city, state, region etc.......
i can live and share with the people around me.

i can never save anyone.
the Holy Spirit changes peoples hearts.

we as a people, we as a nation
and even as far as we as a church;
will never impact our generation,
we will never change history
if we fail to see the people in front of us.

we are looking to far ahead into the future.
technically the future is always a second ahead of us.

if we stopped looking ahead and just looked into the eyes of those around us,
then we can learn about people,
share our pains and joys with them,
make memories, make inside jokes,
be real and live.

we need to stop worrying about getting our names into the history books,
we just need to recognize the folks God has allowed us to be with.
