I was sent an article by Leonard Sweet which can be found on www.leonardsweet.com.

It gave me reason for pause because I have at times in my life been one that has said “I don’t do”. Usually I am convicted and I end up “doing” but its been those who have not said “I don’t do”…that end up changing the world.  I salute those folks. I hope to be one of them someday.
