Leaders

"Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."
(Matthew 6.31-34 ESV)

It seems my earlier attempt to resolve social strife has not yet succeeded. Alas.

We live in a time of religious disillusionment. Church's are being replaced by yoga studios as a new generation turns to the east for enlightenment.

Many proclaim their spirtuality while eschewing religious faith. Such are the times we live in.

But we still need leaders. We still need heros. We value those within our communities who can teach us about life and teach us about ourselves. These people inspire us to rise above ourselves, to better ourselves.

There are leaders all around us. Some take on this responsibility while others lead as they live. This potrait is of one such leader who is doing his part.
