I'd change myself. As easy as that should seem, I haven't been able to overcome the society I'm in to be attached to Him in "reckless abandon". I still hold onto my burdens, taking with me wherever I go. I would change my interpretation of what is average, and live below it.
There are many things I would like to change but since it say 1, I will have to choose. I would love to be able to change the way our world views people with disabilities. Whether physical or intellectual there is a stereotype out there that simply is not true. Hopefully someday, people will view people with disabilities as anyone else who needs a little help from time to time. God has created these beautiful people and we need to cherish them.
There are many things I would change about the world. If I were to have the ability to change only one thing, it would be violence. I would make violence disappear. I would like to turn on the evening news and not leave the couch feeling rather sick because of the violent crimes reported in our communtiy. I would love to know that my children could grow up in a peaceable world. A place where people respected LIFE, and how absolutely precious it is.
If I could change one thing about the world, it would be addiction- addiction to drugs, alcohol, food, anything and everything that we use to fill up the void that only Jesus fills.
If I could change one thing, I would have to borrow from Micah's comment and change myself. I would change myself, so that I could open up and receive love. If I could do that, I would have faith that others could too and I would know that it is alright to be vulnerable to one another.
We like to think of our weekend messages as conversations- with a couple of limitations: 1. We've only got 20-30 minutes together. 2. One person does most of the talking while 1000 people listen.
This blog is a spot where we can stretch both those limits. So stop in regularly and contribute your insights and questions.

I think I'd change what temptation looks like.
Most of the time I see only the attractive parts.
Maybe if we could see through to the dark side of temptation it would make it a little easier to resist.
Hmmm ... let's see. God made the world and how do I want to change it? Think I'll just try to find more ways to enjoy His gifts.
