Leaving a Legacy

After reading The Five People You Meet In Heaven, I have begun to ponder what it means to leave a legacy.

Every day, we all influence people. Good or bad, our influence is imprinted upon someone's life. That can be an overwhelming thing to consider. Especially, since our influence may be so subtle, we don't even realize that we've made an impact.

That being said, consider the story of James "Friday" Richards. This is a Marietta, GA football coach who is passionate about football, but even more passionate about helping kids.

I like his story because as you learn about this quiet man, you also learn about the many times he invited teenagers into live with him and his wife. Because of his and his wife's decision to open up their home, lives were changed. Over and over again.

We are praying that as 3 Dimensional Life students learn how to adopt a destructive behavior lifestyle, that the course of their life will be changed and in turn will influence positive change in the course of others' lives too.
