We all have our stories and as far as most of us are concerned, all of those great dancers were great. I like this story by the fans of Fred Astaire. - In the last century, and many decades ago, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly and Gower Champion were sharing a limousine to MGM. A short distance from the studio, however, they found to their dismay that a bridge they needed to cross had collapsed, leaving them across a fast-flowing river from the studio.
Undeterred, Fred declared, "We're dancers! We'll 'dance' across!" Having spoken, he gathered himself, spun around a couple of times, and nimbly danced across the surface of the river. Gene agreed, "Good idea Fred!" He jumped up, and also danced across the surface of the water.
Gower Champion said to himself, "What Fred and Gene can do, I can do too!" So he took a deep breath, and jumped out onto the water - and promptly sank. Not wanting to lose out, he climbed out, took another deep breath, leaped - and promptly sank again.
Across the river, Fred and Gene watched as Gower kept falling in and climbing out and falling in. Finally, Gene turned to Fred and said, "Do you think we should tell him where the stones are?"
May God help us see the opportunities that are always around us to do good.
Remember ..... just going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more
than standing in your garage makes you a car. Each and everyone one of
us may be going through tough times right now, but God is getting

And Fred looked at Gene, puzzled, and said, "What stones?!"

Remember ..... just going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more
than standing in your garage makes you a car. Each and everyone one of
us may be going through tough times right now, but God is getting
ready to bless you in a way that only He can. Keep the faith.
