Pastor Wade's: I Believe I Can Fly (1597 words)
You know we're pretty good about telling our children and grandchildren, when they're young, that they can be anything they want if they put their mind to it and work hard.
If we can dream, if we can see a future of hope bathed in the light of Jesus Christ, we can believe we can fly.
And for those who have placed their faith in God, and believe themselves to be more than just chickens, they will spread their wings and soar like eagles.
