BENJI If you are having a hard time getting this morning started (and this week for that matter), know that you are not alone for there are numerous examples of famous people who started off slowly. Winston Churchill seemed so dull as a youth that his father thought he might be incapable of earning a living in England. G.K. Chesterton, the English writer, could not read until he was eight. One of his teachers told him, "If we could open your head, we should not find any brain but only a lump of white fat." Thomas Edison's first teacher described him as "addled," and his father almost convinced him he was a "dunce." Albert Einstein's parents feared their child was dull, and he performed so badly in all high school courses except mathematics that a teacher asked him to drop out. These people all went on to greatness because they didn’t give up, and I hope you don’t either. Now head into this day and this week knowing that God’s grace and greatness go with you!
