What's wrong with being ordinary?

I wasn't going to compose a new blog post today, but I feel compelled. Sometimes in life we feel like we can't make the cut. We feel like something isn't going to work. We doubt things. We let other people drag us down and break our potential. We all have the potential to do great things, sometimes we just forget we have it. Craig Morgan has a song called "Ordinary Angels" that really pertains to this subject. Here it is:

"Ordinary Angels"

Seems like almost everyday
Trouble carries us away
And sometimes when we hurt we all need to be saved
Every time I'm in to deep
Someone always rescue me
Its like heavens sending down the help that I need
Life like a chain sometimes it breaks
We all need a hand when we fall from grace

It could be someone walking down the street
A stranger on a bus
A little kid on his way to school or any one of us
We all got a little superman ready to take a fly
And save a life ohh save a life
Take a look around and you'll see ordinary angels

The world can make you feel so small
Steal your dreams and make you crawl
And break you till you got you got nothing at all
When your in that dark place and you need that embrace
You know love is never to far away

It could be a waitress at a coffee shop you never saw before
A soldier thats just coming home from fighting in the war
We all got a little superman ready to take a fly
And save a life ohh save a life
Take a look around and you'll see ordinary angels

It could be someone walking down the street
A stranger on a bus
A little kid on his way to school or any one of us
We all got a little superman ready to take a fly
And save a life ohh save a life
Take a look around and you'll see ordinary angels

We all fall sometimes. We all have our ups and downs in life, yet more times than not, we all have a superman or superwoman that saves us. However, they are not likely not be dressed in a cape and have slicked back hair. No, our supermen and superwomen, ordinary angels, often times are just ordinary people who, by choice or not, have somehow impacted our lives when we needed it most. We all like those kinds of people, the supermen and superwomen of the world. Well, the good news is we can be a superman or superwoman ourselves. We just have to take flight! Have you taken flight today? Today, I have discovered that the measure of a man can sometimes be found in his ability to be an ordinary angel. That, my friends, is just a few thoughts from this small town southern man.
