From Our Pastor

In the 1800’s, a tightrope walker named Charles Blondin dazzled crowds by walking a rope suspended across Niagara Falls.  He performed many daring feats: blindfolded and on stilts.  One day he pushed a wheelbarrow across the falls and back.  The crowd roared in approval.  Then he turned and asked the crowd, “Do you believe I can do it again with someone inside the wheel barrow?” Cheers erupted.  “Who will get in?”  Suddenly silence fell.
 
Faith is not just cheering for God; it is climbing in the wheelbarrow.  It is surrendering your weight, your worry, your will to the only One who has never fallen.
