First I saw this on Entertainment Tonight.  Then today I was reading a friend’s blog and discovered this video. . .WOW. . .if you haven’t already seen it, I promise it will be 7 minutes well spent.  Get ready to cry.  Get ready to cheer.  Get ready to be embarrassed. . .

The moment the reality show’s audience and judging panel saw the small, shy, middle-aged woman, they started to smirk. When she said she wanted a professional singing career to equal that of Elaine Paige, the camera showed audience members rolling their eyes in disbelief. They scoffed when she told Simon Cowell, one of the judges, how she’d reached her forties without managing to develop a singing career because she hadn’t had the opportunity. Another judge, Piers Morgan, later wrote on his blog that, just before she launched into I Dreamed a Dream, the 3000-strong audience in Glasgow was laughing and the three judges were suppressing chuckles.  Click Here for more

BUT…

Grazie Susan Boyle! from seb fil on Vimeo.

In the world of church planting we are often willing to enlist anything or anyone that moves and breathes if they are willing to help fold chairs and change diapers and make coffee.  But I wonder, how many Susan Boyle’s do we overlook in our church plants and our towns every day?  Who are we failing to allow to shine? I think I’m a bit embarrassed.  Way to go, Susan!!!
