Ted Williams is a man who took for granted his gift, a golden radio voice. Addiction to alcohol and drugs alienated him from the love of his family and drove him to become homeless. He made a living through these dark moments by holding a cardboard sign, begging.
His life went dark. Very dark. Maybe in order for him to decipher what is light:)
And the light came in the guise of a stranger driving by, took his video and posted it on youtube. And in 24 hours, that post got 13 million views and ushered Ted Williams to a room called second chance.
Now 53, he understand that he has a lot things to be thankful for. Grateful for. Genuinely grateful for. That was true during his "...heyday", during his dark moments and now.
Any architect or civil engineer would know that there are times when old buildings must be ripped to its bare foundation to see what is wrong or even struck down, before a new and a better one could stand in its place.
Sometimes, that engineering truth holds true for our lives.
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. ~ Damascus Saul :)
Only He can write stories like that :)
My heart is warm :)
Blessed.
