"Look man, just go in there and apologize. Man up."

"Naw. Can't do that. In front of the whole class?! Naw... they all gonna be laughin' at me."

--Al Duncan talking to a student that lost 

the school mascot in a prank-gone-bad

A lot of people are fearless when it comes to things they shouldn’t do, but scared to death when it comes to things they should do.

Think about that.

People do crazy things in the name of fun, machismo, the male ego, or when it's time to "tell somebody off", but  some of those same people have no heart in other matters.

• How about having enough courage to apologize? 
• How about having enough heart to step out on faith? 
• How about having enough fortitude to take full responsibility for your actions?

Uh-oh...I think I just saw courage run out the door.

Million-Dollar Question: 

Is your courage misplaced?
