Ruth Bachman: Irritational/Inspirational Speaker

I heard a speaker recently who described himself as an “irritational” speaker.  I love that idea, I wish I had thought of it!  Sand is an abrasive, and even a small amount irritates when it is present in an unexpected way.  The root definition of the word inspire is “to breathe into.”  I hope that I have inspired you to breathe in even one grain of sand from this message, and that it will provide some irritation to an attitude that you might hold about healing and change.  You know what happens to the oyster when sand gets in?  It makes a pearl.
