Heart! When we talk about heart, what do we mean? My boys were in Pop Warner football and when the coach would ask, “What’s it take?” and the little guys would shout back, “Heart!!” Over and over he would ask and they would shout back…HEART! You know what he meant because the metaphor, heart has a depth of meaning that almost all of us know. When we say they’ve got heart, we mean, he has passion, or she has a depth of love. Something is coming out of the core of their being, that drives and motivates them. Passion and consistent drive come from the heart. Do you have heart? Do people know what drives you? Passion, compassion, love, kindness, generosity… you get the idea. “Out of the abundance of the heart…” the mouth speaks, and many other dynamic actions flow from it.
