Passion? What for?

So, I have not posted in a long time. In order to write, I need to feel passionately about something and the Blazers is the last topic about which I harbored that sort of passion (not really, I was just bored enough to blog). Lately, however, I have been feeling passion again. This passion is did not stem from anything that I can put my finger on and I’m not sure that I am channeling it into anything productive. Well, at least not until today. Today, me Andrew and Alex dropped some clothes off at the Nampa Lighthouse Mission and filled out applications to volunteer. I have to say that it is good to have roommates who are interested in helping people. Not just the kind of “help” that leads to a work and witness trip every few years and a leaf-raking each fall, but the kind that actually desires to better the lives of other people. That’s what I’m after, at least.

I’m actually not sure if I feel passionately about working at the Lighthouse Mission or not, but it is something that will push me out of my normal routine. Also, I hope that I can make this a habit so that when I get out into the real world, I will still have the desire to help others. I can’t imagine a life devoted to myself. It seems so pointless.

I have not yet found that thing that I feel intensely passionate about. It’s not working, not learning, not going to church or reading the Bible, not having fun or hanging with friends, not love (not like I’ve experienced it or anything), not music, not family, and not doing nothing. Maybe passion is learned; hmmm…interesting concept. Who really knows? All I know is that I want to develop some good habits and I hope that it will start at the Lighthouse Mission.
