Endeavors and Trust

You can easily walk on a foot-wide beam at ground level, but you may quail at the very thought of doing it one hundred stories up in a skyscraper under construction, as steeplejacks do. It isn’t the width of the beam that makes it difficult; it’s the height of the beam from the ground. Similarly, ou... (www.catholic365.com)
