Inertia Part II

My last post was intended to convey a simple message, two of my esteemed colleagues have pointed out the simple message was not necessarily clear. It is to them I dedicate this summary.

We are all creatures of habit, if we are in the habit of reaching out and helping others we will continue to do so. Our efforts will connect us with like minded individuals who are also excited to reach out, this connection to others will create a synergy, momentum, or inertia. Our energies will feed off each other, and we will become further charged to continue and increase the work we do. As Newton states: "A body in motion tends to stay in motion."

The converse is true, we know what we should do, but we don't do it. The longer we remain at rest, the more familiar that habit becomes, we end up doing nothing. The more nothing we do, makes doing something all the harder, and that is a bad thing. As Newton stated, "A body at rest tends to stay at rest." Today is too important to let it pass without making a positive contribution.

So, get your cold weather gear on, start doing something, and get in the game. We are created in the image of God, and he came to us a servant, so lets serve.
