I Made a Difference for That One....

I am reminded today of a poignant story that is a favorite of our pastor's:

The Starfish Story by Loren Eisley

One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean.

Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?”

The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.”

“Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make a difference!”

After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said…”I made a difference for that one.”

This is what we are doing when we tell the truth about the Kimkins diet disaster. Just this week I'm witnessing over and over how much good it does to continue to tell the truth even when those hearing it may not want to hear it at first. AmyB calls it "picking flowers" when she helps pull another Kimkinite out of the bondage and lies of the starvation diet site run by scammer Heidi Diaz.

Today I read a post on LCF by Christin who got a heartwarming email just today from someone who read the truth on her blog and chose a healthier way to lose weight. Just when you think nobody's listening.....

It happens.

Keep up the good work, Ducks!
