Jumpin on the bandwagon

Ted Williams is everywhere today.  And why not.  His story resonates with us.  We all love a story where the underdog gets a second chance or where the underdog makes it BIG.  He is getting several job offers and offers of homes.  I hope Ted makes the most of his opportunity and I hope his sudden fame does not cause him to crash.  

As I listened to all of the interviews with this 53 year-old homeless man, one thing in particular resonated with me.  He asked us all to not view the homeless with our usual stereotypes.  He asked us to not judge a book by it's cover.  He asked us to be charitable to the less fortunate.  It sounds so easy, yet I believe it is so hard.

I want to be more charitable with my time and money.  I want to not view people with such a critical eye.  I want to accept people for who they are on the inside, not what they look like on the outside.  I hope and pray I can take Ted's advice this year. 

Thanks for the reminder Ted Williams.  Good luck and God Bless!
