A Voice...

I'm watching the finale of The Voice.  And rolling through my head are all of the amazing musicians and singers I've known over time. (side note...NPH is in Smurfs?  ok...blogging while watching TV is a bad idea.  Mute. aaaah).  And I keep thinking, man, I wish this or that person could make it.  

When it comes down to it, I have a few children's book ideas that I wish could make it as well.  

Make it.  What is "it" exactly?

Fame? Fortune?  oh, and Fame?  

There's a common thread with all of the talented folks I'm thinking of.  They live for one cause.  To make Jesus famous.  

Every so often I see obituaries for people who were famous 20, 40 or more years ago.  And I don't know who they were.  I've never seen their movies.  I don't know what they look like.  They've lost "it", at least with me.  

The winner is announced.  The confetti falls.  And off they go to tour, record...whatever for however long they can keep at the top of the market.  

Talent.  Do I really want to make "it" for the next few years, or do I want to do one thing...make Jesus famous.  Because that is something that will last forever.
