Before my flight from Maui to Portland yesterday I picked up an “Outside” magazine for a little something to read and it just happened to have one of the best articles I’ve ever read. I laughed, I nearly cried and I prayed that when someone someday makes a movie of the story of young outlaw “Colt” Colton Harris-Moore, that it has a happy ending.
The Ballad of Colton Harris-Moore
I post this article because it is a fascinating look at a talented, athletic young man who has amazing outdoor survival skills but has found himself in a life of crime that doesn’t appear to have a happy ending anywhere in sight. It is a reminder of what a huge role sports can play in young peoples lives and how much of a difference we can make when we reach out to a kid who needs it… and what can happen when we don’t!
