STOP AND THINK Start by doing what is necessary, then do what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible. (St. Francis of Assisi)
We like to jump to the end, don’t we? We want to dream, to create, to build—sometimes before we’ve done the necessary groundwork. It’s important to start at the beginning, however—to learn the fundamentals, to do the required and what we are capable of doing. Then, it’s time to take a step of faith, perhaps, and move beyond the ordinary.
Jesus . . . said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.” (Mark 10:27)
