Day 18: Do something GRAND!

Students from the school in Sudan
Here is a crazy idea for the holidays: Regain your balance by becoming completely unbalanced.
Do something GRAND! Be Noah when he started building his ark. Do something so spectacular people will wonder whether you have gone out of your mind.
I am inspired by an African refugee from the Sudan by the name of Valentino Deng. I first read about him in a book called “What Is the What,” which describes the miraculous story of how he escaped from the war in Sudan and made his way to the United States. Now at the age of 30, he is building a school back in Sudan.
I know others who are refugees in this country from India who are building schools back in their Indian villages. So maybe this year or next—or sometime in the near future—you can realize a big dream and do something crazy like building a school, or doing a storytelling project in Rwanda like my wife Patricia is doing. Maybe it’s even time for another ark.
