"Paul Revere earned his living as a silversmith. But what do we remember him for? His volunteer work. All activism is volunteering in that it's done above and beyond earning a living and deals with what people really care passionately about. Remember, no one gets paid to rebel. All revolutions start with volunteers."

So here's what I think happened, and just trust me on this because it's a real breakthrough: On New Year's Eve, while everybody was celebrating the arrival of 2007 by consuming copious amounts of "spirits" and producing huge rackets with their noisemakers, Earth was walloped by a large meteorite from the planet "Sleazy and Bizarre Behavior." Tragically, cheerful party-goers were so occupied slurping down liquid merriment concocted from the book of "Bartender's Easy Entertainment Tips" that they missed the disaster entirely. Because how else can we explain all of these off-the-wall altered states of goings-on?

I have worked with non-profits for almost 25 years now, but after a recent United Way effort to develop some new goals for meeting basic needs in this county, I've become a little enamored of the front-line emergency services agencies that I never really paid much attention (or respect) to before. These are the ones that were started by a group of people who wanted to meet a basic need – (most often food). Their service is born from heeding a call to live the gospels, to serve their neighbors in need and their sense of what's right.
