By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.”
- John Wesley

I just love this quote.

Maybe it is due to my upbringing, or my faith or perhaps it is because I’ve spend the last eight years working with non-profits, but I have a heart for service. My view is that we are obligated in this life to give back in some way.  Oh yes, I said OBLIGATED.

The “HOW” is different for everyone.  Can be time, talent or treasure.  Can be a holding someone’s hand when they are in need.  Can be lending your expertise to a problem. Volunteering at your child’s school.  Walking a sick neighbor’s dog.  Giving money to a good cause.

What are your thoughts?  I’m not sure my view is exactly politically correct.  Dissenting opinions, anyone?
