JIM WALL

Good Morning!

Playing the game of life to the fullest requires taking a risk.  Without risk, life has little emotion, little that can be counted as exhilaration or fulfillment.

      To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.

      To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.

      To reach out for another is to risk involvement.

      To expose feelings is to risk exposing one's true self.

      To place ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk ridicule.

      To love is to risk not being loved in return.

      To hope is to risk despair.

      To try is to risk failure.

      And yet, the person who risks nothing…does nothing, has nothing, and ultimately does nothing. 

      It was a risk for Peter to get out of the boat and walk on the water to Jesus.  Do you need to take a risk?
