At one point or another, it was all impossible.

A ship that can make it across the ocean? Ridiculous.

Indoor plumbing? Ha – never going to happen.

Current that runs through wires to light a house so that we don’t have to use the incredibly risky business of lighting a home with candles? No way.

Airplanes? Yea right.

Internet? HUH?

Internet without wires?

Free internet?

20 years ago = NO WAY.

The existence of a God who gives a rip about our lives? Maybe, maybe not.

Impossibilities have the tendency to stall us, sidetrack us, kill us.

But then, if we are self aware (and other aware) enough, things slowly become possible.

How? People are wired to be intensely creative, industrious, discontent and curious.

As a result, we tend to ask the question: What if?

What if we could make it across that ocean, have electricity, move the bathroom indoors, fly in the sky, connect the whole world to the internet of things, believe that God intimately cares about our lives?

What if the things that we can’t even see (though we can often feel them) really exist?

The power of possible possibilities becomes increasingly incredible. 

We each face real impossibilities each day. Some that we are born into, some that are a result of our circumstances or the choices we (or others around us) have made.

Fortunately, that reality is not the end of the story. Yet.

Impossible things may actually become possible some day.

Each of us are creative, have the ability to be industrious, to gather our emotions of discontent, and lean into our curious tendencies.

May we each strive have faith in the unseen, and hope that things are possible.

Our stories are still be written, and that’s a good thing.
