"NOT POSSIBLE"?? :)

Don’t allow your Image of what CAN be—in the lives of those you love, in your own life, in this world—to be tarnished by doubt and fear and fatigue and small-mindedness. “ALL things are possible, to him who Believes.” Even the pagans have found that TRIVIAL “impossible” matters can be overcome, with the right attitudes and heart…HOW MUCH MORE the things God DESIRES and has Promised, for those who will do it His way??!!
