The Blindside

Posted July 31, 2010 by Allen Wright

I am the first to admit that I do not see most movies when in the theater, this was true for "The Blindside" with Sanrda Bullock.I did watch the movie and had an interesting discussion afterwards. The movie was good and very touching, but more important was the simple message of change. Change does not occur through big government programs to try and help make a difference ... there is little passion. Change occurs when one person or family makes a consistent meaningful impact on another person or family. Notice the use of the word consistent ... this does not mean each Thanksgiving you donate a meal ... it means each day you strive to change one person's life and keep striving with that person until they are able to be the mentor and not the mentee.

It is not the responsibility of the government ... it is your responsibility. So volunteer for Big Brothers / Big Sisters and change one person's life.
