Megan's prayer: MercyMe's "In the Blink of an Eye"

Dane Cook is a silly guy. I love listening to his routines or watching youtube clips of him. Part of today’s song stood out and reminded me of one of his routines, and actually got me thinking.

Dane Cook talks about how he wants to leave behind a legacy. One way that he is going to do this is by shoving ice cream in a little kid’s face. The child will probably remember that for a long time, and Dane Cook will have successfully left behind a legacy. An odd one, but a legacy nonetheless.

I also would like to leave behind a legacy. I don’t want it to be a bad memory, but rather a great memory. I want to make a difference in someone’s life… in many people’s lives. I think that is one reason I’m getting a degree in education. I want to do everything that I can to help children meet and exceed their full potential. I want them to have the chance to leave behind a legacy.

I didn’t know if teaching would be a good enough way to leave a legacy, but today’s song reassured me.

If I give the very best of me
That becomes my legacy
