Can You Walk the Walk?
Copyright (c) 2007-2012 Joyce C. Lock
Can You Walk the Walk, Talk the Talk;
Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is?
We've all heard phrases that challenged us to greatness. But instead of being challenged, what a difference it could make if we challenged ourselves ... if, every day, we awoke to hopeful expectations; searching for another mountain to climb and obstacle to pass while actually looking forward to the ruff spots (knowing they'll only help us grow stronger), to be "all that we can be" and then to be totally contented there, to be determined to make a difference and be the difference, to reach out to our fellow man, and to look forward to every breath of life God has given.
We'd soon discover that our entire world had suddenly changed. And when we'd look around to see how such a miracle had happened, we'd discover the miracle took place inside.

required to move from one place to another - this can be the
result of a job transfer, leaving home to attend college, or any
