What Happens When You Light Yourself On Fire

John Wesley once said, “Light yourself on fire with passion and people will come from miles to watch you burn.”  Practically all of my posts are uplifting and positive.  This is because there are enough complainers in the world and it does not need another negative voice.

But periodically, something does anger me enough to write about it and I go on what is called a “rant”.  It is the blogging equivalent to watching someone burn.  And people often come from miles to read it.

My key learning from the most read April posts are rants truly are incredibly popular.  Last month I wrote a post called An Open Letter To All Christians Who Say, “I’m Not Being Fed.” It went viral and was April’s most read post.

Maybe all of us should be “on fire” more often about issues we face?
