"Take the first step in faith.
You don't have to see the whole staircase,
just take the first step."
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

or by what parable shall we present it?

yet when it is sown, it grows up and becomes larger than
all the garden plants and forms large branches;
so that the birds of the air can nest under its shade.'"
Mark 4:30-32

"Life is so full of uncertainties that there are no guarantees;
failure is as possible as success; indifferent health as fitness;
tomorrow's plans can be brutally overthrown by untimely death,
so much so that the wise man as he looks ahead seeks for divine
guidance in the spirit of 'Thy will be done' and then prepares to
accept the offering of each day as it comes.
James repeats the warning in his so practical Epistle: 'Go to now,
ye that say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city and continue
there a year and buy and sell and get gain; whereas ye know not what
shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour,
that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye
ought to say, If the Lord will we shall live and do this or that.'"
