Autistic basketball player Jason McElwain spent most of his high school career cheering his team on from the bench as team manager — until the final 4 minutes of his final game as a senior. McElwain didn’t waste any of his opportunity to get in the game, pouring in 7 shots and finishing the game as high scorer.
Make sure you have a Kleenex before you watch this. I wont lie, my eyes leaked a little.
William Kamkwamba was 14 when he built a windmill from scrap parts in order to provide enough electricity to power 4 lightbulbs and 2 radios in his home in his tiny village in Malawi. I travelled through Palm Springs, California during my road trip. I saw the windmills, but I don’t think they meant as much to me as they did to William.
Watch and be inspired:
I shared a little of Matt Chandler’s story last week in this post. As I said then, I don’t know much about this guy, but he is quickly becoming one of my most respected church leaders. The following video was played at his church this past Sunday morning. It was taped a few days before his surgery.
Watch the video, then laugh at what you see following the video.
Now, Matt’s surgery was successful, and he should recover, which is amazing news.
However, it would seem that his wife has confiscated his phone after he attempted to twitter on Sunday. Here’s the twitter posts:
I mean, THAT’S hilarious!
Keep praying for Matt. His faith in God is something I can learn a great deal from. Perhaps you can too.
