Blinding Flash of the Obvious #1


The path to change the world is not paved.

No concrete or gravel graces the path toward change.

There are tracks in the dirt from heroes who have gone before us, leaving their marks on the landscape and their imprints on our hearts.

It's one hard climb, with places that have been washed out, or marks that have been obliterated, or places where the ruts are so deep it seems impossible to get out of them. But the marks are there nevertheless.

We leave prints as well, with each step of faithful living, leaving yet another mark and making the path a little easier for those who come behind us here.

Today as you walk, live knowing that the marks you leave on that unpaved path—whether on or off the path of changing the world—are seen and noted by those that walk behind you.

History takes note: you were here.
