I’m Going to Try to Change the World
Changing the World seems like an inundated task for one person. But if everyone works together to make small changes synergy kicks in and great strides can be made.
I recently lost a high school friend to domestic violence and alcohol abuse.
Coming from a very small community these things just don’t happen in our lives. The reality has struck however that YES domestic violence, alcohol and drug abuse is a very real thing in our world and even right here in our own backyards.
My friend and I had drifted apart through the years, but I always remembered the “spunk and fire” personality she had in high school.
After graduating I settled down to have a family she went off to the Navy. She returned from the Navy to the small town I live in and along with her was her son who was my youngest son’s age. They grew up together and became great friends and remain great friends today.
Even though we had drifted apart her death has left a huge hole in my heart that possibly I could have done something different along the way to help her choose a different path.
In searching for some music for a prayer vigil for her I came across this song, “Try to Change the World“, and I find it very fitting to apply to my life in general. It is up to us to “Try to Change the World”!
With drug abuse at it’s highest levels ever we are losing our children left and right. Many of these cases are directly related to the common use of prescription drugs. Chiropractic has always said NO to Drugs. We need to continue to preach that crusade.
The time is now to “Try to Change the World”!
Will you do your part?
