What you didn't do

This post will be fairly short, because I'm going to recommend you spend more time reading an outstanding article called Kermit's Song.

Read it all and come back, even if it takes a day.

OK, done? Wow, what a story. Have you ever been like Kermit Alexander, quick to proclaim, "Somebody should do something," but oh so hesitant to be that somebody? I know I have. I guess that's why the story is so powerful. You never know the impact on your life or on someone else's that just one person could have.

And then there's the guilt, the guilt that lies in each one of us for our sins, our mistakes, our things we didn't do. But just like Kermit, we all are offered a second chance. It is in every breath we take, every morning we wake up and every step we move. We have the chance to make a difference to somebody that day in the same way that one man made a difference for eternity with a crown of thorns sitting on his head.

We spend a lot of time in our society worrying about what we have to do, what's on our list, what's the schedule? But maybe the question shouldn't be what do we have to do, but what haven't we done?

And like Kermit, we can then pray, "Lord, don't let us miss someone."
