Talk is so easy. Most of us have soap boxes that we are more than eager to mount. Some of mine are politics, the damage that screens and social media have done to society, and wet socks. I really hate wet socks. But even though we enjoy a passionate discourse, many of us do not take meaningful action to remedy the problems that we see. I use the word, “meaningful,” because saying “God bless you” at the store or posting a Facebook rant probably does not have the impact that we wish it did.
