If you have ever gone into a store and have been asked, Can I help you find something? The common reply is, No I am just looking, Just like being asked hi how are you as the person passes by at top speed. People don't ask much of each other and they don't say much ether these days. Not much effort is used at all. I remember growing up and My Mom would exchange favors with the nieghbors. A cup of milk or sugar. Baked goods and even a good conversation wasn't to much to ask. Effort was no issue....I remember picking up the phone and hearing people talking and have to wait until the line was clear to make a call. "The old Party line" and actually waiting....I am not going to complain about todays disconnectedness. I think you have what you desire if you are faithful enough to want it with all your "effort" The GOOD eff word... :)

I believe not everyone wants to speak! We should just allow people to be themselves. RIGHT?Friendships and empires have been built on someone just living out loud by being themselves and being happy about it. The bible speaks the way people live life is a real testiment to who they are and where they are going.

Who I miss the simple days when credit was a mans word and hope went along with prayer. Dreams included being President one day. I choose to make a difference everyday I am hear, vertical and taking on Air. So the next time someone says can I help you. Put in the effort to Allow them to and watch what happens. I bet you find just what you are looking for or you have an opportunity to meet someone you don't already know. Let them show you their best effort to help! By giving your best effort let someone help. Earn the big E for effort. Effort it can change who you are. It could possibly change the world...
