I really like Sun Chips.  I was reading something on lime.com, I think, and clicked on an ad to get a coupon for Sun Chips.  I go to their website, and see this Live Brightly campaign they have.  I have to say I was really moved by it.  Sure, some of the ideas were self-serving, but what I took away from it is that small, intentional steps by ordinary people can change everything.  I particularly liked the one about the guy who makes an extra sandwich every day to give away. How simple is that, yet why did I never think of it, or if I did, what stops me from doing it, or something like that?  While some may be called to Africa, maybe I am called to bring an extra chair to the swim meet, an extra bottle of water to the soccer practice...

I had also just heard a sermon by Rob Bell at Mars Hill (June 3-Do You Realize How Far We Are?) on the priesthood of all believers, where he says something to the effect of, " Social service agencies exist only because the Church hasn't been doing its job." (ouch)  He also says something about people who want to make a difference don't think to join a church---that the Church isn't exactly known for its radical service to the least, the lost, and the last.  If you want to feel good about yourself, join a church.  If you really want to make a difference, join up with one of the secular organizations.  ( I listen while I am on the treadmill, so I can't exactly take notes!)  

So, what am I to make of taking my inspiration to bring about the Kingdom of God from my snack food?  Oh, and does anyone know where I can find the cinnamon Sun Chips?  I really want to try them.
