Change - I need your help!
I posted Tracy Chapman's song "Change" on this website not to long ago. I think I had to delete it because it was being linked-to and downloaded by Chinese people and we all know how big China is and how many people there are and so that is a lot of downloads.
But Hot-linking and bandwidth stealing is not the point of this post...
The point is that this weekend I am teaching at the McFadden Boys Ranch about Change. Change your clothes, change your way of thinking, change your attitude, change your perspective. I have movie clips to emphasize certain points and I plan to do an interview skit where I do different types of interviews wearing different types of clothes. I need visual aides to help move the message along and to get my point across.
I've been doing some changing of my own lately. I feel it more than ever - I'm different. We have a slogan we use at TI, "Change faster than change". The great thing about life is that it is all about making adjustments and changes and if any of you have some amazing stories or analogies that I can use at the boys home about change and success and success in the workplace and how changing something made a big difference, that would be VERY helpful to me.
Two chest bumps and a peace sign!

"Two chest bumps and a peace sign!"
That kills me... literally. Two chest bumps from eddie and this 5'4" frame is flying across the room.
Anyway, change... I guess the only thing I can say about change is that you have to want to change. For the past 2 - 3 years, I have been wanting to become more healthy, change my lifestyle and get fit... but I wasn't ready. I didn't want it bad enough... but, about 6 weeks ago, I decided to make the change. I was sick of thinking about it and I decided to do it. Sometimes with change you just have to decide that you are going to change and then you just need to do it... to make the change. Sometimes its not that simple... but most of the time, it's being willing to do what it takes to change... and it can happen very quickly.
How old are the boys you are talking too?
I'm feeling a little retarded because I have nothing to offer.
NOTHING.
When do I NOT have an opinion?
Eddo - I'm excited for you, both because there are so many things in your life changing and that you get an opportunity to minister to those boys. I guess the biggest thing I've learned about changes is that we can make changes in our life, we can decide to change but real change only comes with an encounter with Christ. The other changes in our life are peripheral but when God gets involved it is a change in who we are, who we become, and it is a change that stays with us for a lifetime.
Two chest bumps and a peace sign. Oh my!
I'm 5'3" as opposed to Ben McMinn's 5'4" so no telling what would happen to me. I wasn't worried that it was happening anyways!
Kudos to you Eddo.
Eddo that's so awesome what you're doing with the boys!
(Do we get pictures of the many costume changes? lol)
