helping others

sometimes when i think about this life and what is my point here, when i think about what i want to accomplish, i realize that it's not all about me. y'know. if i were to write books and do really well with them and become well known, blah blah blah and i didn't help other people in the process, what would it be worth? (this kind of reminds me of 1 corinthians 13). :-p

anyway, i was just reading news stories and searching (that's what i do - read news stories, which triggers a subject that i'll look up, which inevitably triggers another subject that i look up, etc.), and i started reading about john walsh, the guy who hosts "america's most wanted". anyway, someone kidnapped and killed his son, adam, over 20 years ago (beheaded the 6 year old kid), and instead of just being upset about it, he dedicated his energy to helping solve and prevent other crimes.

ok, my attention span is shot, so i'm going to end this post.
