I spent Thursday and Friday at the Global Leadership Summit where I heard from fabulous speakers doing amazing things al over the world with the talents and gifts that God gave them. It was a good reminder of the good that God inspires in so many throughout the world, particularly as our news is so filled with the bad that people choose when they turn their backs on God. Marc Kielburger and his brother Craig inspire youth to get out and make a difference, and in so doing inspire all ages to not just live, but to leave a legacy through empathy, action and idealism... Marc challenges kids to get out of their comfort zone (I've found that God doesn't like us to sit in our comfort zone anyhow!), take their gift, whatever it is, and combine it their passion to do something to make this a better world. For example... if your gift is hockey and you are passionate about homelessness... organize a hockey tournament to benefit the homeless. Check out "We Day" in Canada http://www.weday.com/craig_and_marc/. I heard Marc speak a couple of years ago in Canada. He is definitely passionate about helping children thrive.
