David, my 13 year old son, came to me this week and was ecstatic that he received a reply to his email from Steve Jobs of Apple.

David has been an avid fan of the Mac gadgets. Being a “techy” guy, he believes and promotes Apple and will not settle for anything less.(...I wonder who discipled him here?)

He said he had a dream of Apple releasing the new product called “Leopard”(Would you believe he even dreams of Apple!) so he decided to go and e mail Steve Jobs to ask him about it… And he wrote back.

To me, it isn’t much about the email response of Steve Jobs that thrilled me. (Mind you, I don’t even know him apart from David introducing him to me. I even thought he had an odd name!)

What I found amazing was the fact that David had the courage to write a popular personality without a bit feeling intimidated. I don’t know if I will have the same audacity to even write Steve Murrell! (that’s the more famous Steve I know)

I learned courage from David that day. I learned that “you don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young..but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.”

Thanks, David. You have set an example to me that I have no one to fear, no one to be intimidated with. Maybe I’ll try writing the US President one day.
