Give a little (not just a surprisingly great Hanson song)

“Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve.... You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” --Martin Luther King, Jr.

What did I do today? Chilled with some cool kids.

Today I went to an after school program for underprivileged teens. I'm a part of a small group at church and we decided that it would be a great way to use our time. It was great fun. We played Taboo and basically just hung out with them. Eventually we will be tutoring them as well, but we wanted to get to know them first.

It's not a big time commitment... only about 2 hours a week. If you don't have a spare 2 hours a week, then you need to prioritize some things, because that's ridiculous. No offense. Prioritize, people. Watch one less episode of American Idol. The world will not end. Ok, thanks. Go change the world 2 hours at a time.
