On being a holy fool
This image grabbed my attention. What you do in your moment of crisis will shape your outcome.
Bob Beltz writes in the Examiner:
A Holy Fool is a man or woman that views life through the lens of significance or meaning instead of acquisition and false identity. This is the man or woman who looks at the frantic pace of the world around them, where people are consumed with all the wrong things, and has to laugh (or maybe cry). Fame, fortune, power, prestige, and position are no longer important to the Holy Fool. The pursuit of God, and his Kingdom, has replaced the quest for cultural success. The transition of the heart that seeks to love people and use things, instead of loving things and using people, has taken place.
Check out the rest of Bob Beltz’ perspective.
