Ways to make a difference

Wanting to be a "do-gooder", but lacking the guts to completely step out of my comfy-zone and really do something, I am always inspired by stories of ordinary people, living ordinary lives within ordinary means, who manage to do something extraordinary.

As Lance's song at church goes, "Take my ordinary days, move them in extraordinary ways".
