Clay Dyer is an absolutely amazing person. What an inspirational person. He is a professional bass fisherman, and a very good one. The thing that is so amazing about him is that he does all this without any arms and legs. He uses every part of himself to go fishing, he holds nothing back, doesn't need any motivation, except for himself.

He doesn't let his disabilities get to him. He makes good out of the unfortunate events in his life.

Inevitably, there is a garbage truck in each person's life. At some time in each person's life, this garbage truck is going to back up and dump its trash all over you. It is going to limit each person in their own special way. Each person has a choice to either sit in the garbage, and stink, smell, and rot just like that garbage and become garbage; or, they can use that garbage, over come that garbage, make good out of that garbage just like Clay Dyer has. His garbage, his series of unfortunate events seem overcomeable to most people. But he has overcome his garbage in such a dramatic fashion that he can be an inspiration in almost every person's life. He can inspire people to look at what they've got, and rejoice in those gifts and use them to do good things.

There are two verses in the Bible that I am reminded of when thinking about Clay Dyer. The first is Luke 12:48 "To whom much is given much is expected." the second is from 1 Corinthians and it is the verse about their being many parts but only one body. I think that Clay fits these verses very well, and in some ways can make many people feel guilty. Most people would agree that they have been given much more in their lives than Clay, but they haven't done anything as impressive as he. Clay has also played his role in the body (community), very well. He has played the role of an inspirer in the body, maybe you could call him adrenaline. He inspires people to use their gifts to benefit the body just like Clay has.
