When we come to it
When we come to it We must confess that we are the possible... We are the
miraculous, the true wonders of this world, Free to choose our ends, and our
new beginnings. That is when, and only when... We come to it." From the
poem "When We Come To It" Adapted by Tim Glennon from works by Ralph
Waldo Emerson and Maya Angelou ------- Doubt sees the obstacles Faith sees the
way. Doubt sees the darkest night Faith sees the day. Doubt dreads to take a
step Faith soars on high. Doubt questions 'who believes?' Faith answers, 'I.'
Author Unknown (But Greatly Appreciated!) ------- I'm reminded today of an old
English professor I had at Eastern Washington University. His name was Mr.
Weekes - a colorful man who loved verbs and poetry and drinking beer at the
local pub. "The key to good writing," he would always tell us
"is to first believe you have something important to say." I think
this same philosophy holds true for 'good living.' We need to believe that we
have something important t!
o say with our lives. Even if we're not a hundred percent sure of the
details... we must first believe that we are here for a great and noble
purpose. By doing this, we move ourselves into a higher realm. We move to a
place where it is much easier for us to relate to ourselves and to each other.
A place ruled by respect and possibility.
“I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more
abundantly.” John 10 : 10
Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things [are] possible to him
that believeth. Mark 9
