PHall | July 22, 2012
Impossible Possibilities – The young believe the impossible because they do not understand the meaning of impossible. The old believe the impossible because they do understand the meaning of impossible. The young believe because they have not seen too much; and the old believe because they have seen enough. Both believe in a God greater […]
