Finally watched it… And now I’m slightly depressed. It puts job seeking/selection and cover letter writing in a new light. Because I know I’m in a position to make a difference. Everyone in North America is. But me, in a slightly unique way, I think.
I’m basically thinking of the general principle behind Uncle Ben’s old wisdom to Peter Parker, “With great power comes great responsibility.” But that’s too cliché. Take that idea, and blend it more with, “We talk of the second coming [of Jesus Christ]; most of the world has never heard of the first” (Oswald J. Smith), and you’ve got a little bit more of what I’m feeling.

how about Luke 12:48?
that’s pretty much where Uncle Ben stole it from.

Thanks, Tim. I just read Luke 12:48. Way to threaten a guy who’s making career/life decisions!
Also, you referencing Luke 12 reminded me of Lecrae (“Don’t Waste Your Life”).
