Musical Motivator

  Alright you caught me. I've been avoiding the blog.
I didn't want to tell you how much of nothing is getting done.
My big plans have amounted to almost zilch.
Some shaky sign lessons and a free concert made a dent in my laziness.
Otherwise I'm still dragging my feet when I should be stepping up.

 If you've ever heard Casting Crowns in person you know the tickets aren't free.
Tickets for this performance were quickly spoken  for and actually sold out.
Which of my Star Wars related powers got me through the door?
None of them, I'm not an undercover member of the Jedi Knights.

 The secret word is sponsorship.
For five years I have gladly supported a young lady named Valeria.
I first got to know her by choosing to be her World Vision sponsor.
As a sponsor you are told about Christian events and volunteer opportunities.
A short training session, a few questions and one seriously orange apron are all it takes.
The energy of a great Concert and several newly sponsored children gave me new motivation.
