The simplicity of a Johnnie’s burger got me thinking, and I was once again reminded that most products and services that I appreciate and covet, at their heart, are very simple. I continually see organizations spending enormous amounts of money to over think the obvious. Often, we’re in such a rush to fix what is broken or overtake the competition, we overdevelop, losing sight of the original intent. In many cases, all people really want is a burger topped with mustard. You just have to take the time to ask.

In times of tragedy, and even publicity stunts, there are moments of true compassion. As I watched the online chatter and the live video feed, I witnessed hundreds of thousands of people rallied together in prayer for the safe return of this boy. This gives me hope that in a world where parents are willing to exploit their children to make a buck, deep in our hearts, many of us still possess true love and compassion for our neighbor. So when I reflect on the story of the Balloon Boy, I will think of the Adam’s County sheriff chasing down an empty balloon across Colorado’s dusty plains. He symbolizes what many of us wanted to do at the time – it’s faith in action in its truest form.
