No One Person…

So, I possess an unusual amount of pencils.

These don’t even including the common #2 pencils we have around the house. It’s not that I’m a lover of pencils, though. They all serve different purposes. Usually, I underline and write notes in books with a pencil. Other times, I’ve done drawings with them.

But this blurb isn’t merely about pencils. It’s about community and what individuals within that community choose to do.

Did you know no one person can make a pencil.

Actually, it takes an entire global workforce to make one.

Consider this. This global unity project, known as the pencil, is an effort to create one simple, graphite, tool for our lives.

With the invention of the pencil, we can create worlds, jot down tasks, scribble notes, or make a piece of art. When the gift of the pencil is used, it multiplies into many streams of gifts to continually impact the world.

If you are part of the pencil-making process, thanks.

If you are the pencil, use it to bless others.
