“Because I’m a leader.”

did you watch the opening ceremonies of the olympic games in bejing last night?  absolutely amazing.  drama.  politics.  emotion.  mystery.  story.  passion.  sport.  it was all there.

the story of little hao lin was moving.  he is the little boy who not only survived the great earthquake in china earlier this year, but he also helped rescue two of his classmates.  when asked why he did that, he replied, “because i’m a leader.  i’m a hall monitor and my classmates count on me.”

when faced with opportunities to make a difference in the world, should christ’s disciples respond with any less?
