A Change of Heart
I just watched the video interview of Tom Monaghan on the ActonHero website. This story is amazing. He was raised in an orphanage but chose to rise above his circumstances. He started the Domino's Pizza Delivery Chain which revolutionized pizza delivery as we know it. He also owned a baseball team and eventually be came a millionaire.
The most momentous moment in his life that he talks about is when he read a book by C.S. Lewis called Mere Christianity that made him reevaluate his life.
His heart changed and he wanted to be a better person that gave to others. He had money and wanted to give it away to something that could do the most good. He decided to give to Higher Education so he started Ave Maria University.
A friend said of him that He wants to go to heaven but he wants to bring as many people as he can with him. He said that he was so grateful that the Lord let him find his true purpose in life. He had finally found his calling!!
I am just awe struck by the spirituality that he has. He in his peak of success found the desire to be humble and look beyond himself to make a difference in this world. I hope that I can raise to my calling that the Lord has given me.
