Searching For Men Of Character

Television coverage of the Haiti crisis, competing for airtime against Sports Central and American Idol, creates a compelling contrast. It all makes me want to see more men who define themselves by a calling higher than simple self-gratification. Certainly we all must attend to our legitimate personal needs. But guys, enduring satisfaction will never be found until we move beyond these appetites towards a vision far beyond ourselves, even beyond people whom we will ever meet (2 Corinthians 5:15). Yes, we will fumble and fail. But we will also gather our strength, get up, and continue following our high calling. Where are the men of such character?
