Outlive Your Life

Dear Friend, May I share a story that is very dear to my heart?

It's a story of hillbillies and simple folk, net casters and tax collectors.

A story of a movement that exploded like a just-opened fire hydrant out of Jerusalem and spilled into the ends of the earth: into the streets of Paris, the districts of Rome, and the ports of Athens, Istanbul, Shanghai, and Buenos Aires.

A story so mighty, controversial, head spinning, and life changing that two millennia later we wonder: Might it happen again?

Heaven knows we hope so.

These are devastating times: 1.75 billions people are desperately poor; one billion are hungry.

Lonely hearts indwell our neighborhoods and attend our schools.

In the midst of it all, here we stand: you, me, and our one-of-a-kind lives.

We are given a choice ... an opportunity to make a big difference during a difficult time.

What if we did?

What if we rocked the world with hope?

Worth a try, don't you think?
