Sometimes inspiration comes from unusual places, like a child

When I was younger, I was totally naive. To be honest, I am still pretty naive. My parents did all they could to teach me how to survive in this crazy world. Over the years, I have come across one thing my parents didn't completely drill into me, my relationship with God. I attend "Breakaway," every tuesday night. I had no idea how much stronger my friendship with God would become. But that's not quite the point of my blog. Today, I wanted to talk about one of my hero's, one of my inspirations. His name is Logan. He is a 13 year old boy that lives on a small ranch in Nebraska. He is known as the "sky angel cowboy." One year ago, he called into the radio station I listen to (89.3 KSBJ, a christian radio station in Houston). He wanted to let the world know what God had taught him that day. His story was about a baby calf he had to put to sleep. He was so distraught that he asked God "Why?" He explained what God told him. He said that God lost his son, just like he lost his calf. He said that God was there for him and that he understood Logan's pain. The words he spoke, the confidence he had was incredible. I broke down into tears the first time I heard this. It hit me really hard, this boy was more "in tune" with life than I was. I couldn't believe how mature this kid was. It blew my mind. Any day I am feeling down, I play Logan's interview and it lifts my spirits. It sounds silly that one of my hero's is a child, but we learn things from people we would never have expected. That's just life. We don't always have to teach those younger than us, sometimes we can learn a thing or two from a child (they normally look at life with a more open and innocent mind, and that is usually the kind of advice I need). I am posting Logan's interview in case someone else is seeking the inspiration I needed, from an unusually young "therapist.
