This is one of my heroes, Dietrich Bonhoeffer. I encourage you to find out about his life as it will inspire you no end. I have already quoted him a number of times on this page, but wanted to add an excerpt from one of his poems ('Stages on the Way to Freedom') as it arrested my attention this morning.'ACTION
Choose and do what is right, not what fancy takes,
not weighing the possibilities, but bravely grasping the real,
not in the flight of ideas, but only in action is there freedom.
Come away from your anxious hesitations into the storm of events,
carried by God's Command and your faith alone.
The freedom will embrace your spirit with rejoicing.'
