With the recognizing of 9/11 we can embrace the positive observations of a nation that rallied for together to meed a need. During that moment in time, all politics, all selfish concerns, all notions of family conflict were placed on hold. A nation became one.
Millions of dollars, thousands of people and hundreds of earth moving machinery converged at “ground zero”. American flags went up all over the country in renewed nationalism and patriotism.
People were kinder, phone calls to family more frequent, and service to one another much easier.
This crisis revealed to the world what it meant to be an American…
Unfortunately, this time and expression has been waned, though not forgotten.
When a body of people believe in something so passionately, it becomes contagious… whatever it is. Studies reveal that “group think” can empower people to do accomplish more together than they ever would have apart.
What if the people of Renown found commonality in a passion for personal growth, sowing our lives into others and embracing the love of God in a personal and powerful way? What if we, a life giving community, could inspire a generation to serve the poor, love the loveless and defend the defenseless?
We can do this… TOGETHER!
