First Step In the Right Direction

First
you take
one small step
then another
until all the steps
add up to the distance
between where you are and where
you are going or want to be.
The trick is to get yourself pointed
in the right direction before you start.

John Rhinem Date: 1/8/2009 10:54:00 AM Smile~Yes, this is the important factor! Just as when you map out a war-you must have all your troops etc. In place!? Intriguing write here dear lady-so much wisdom to be pondered truly!? For it could apply itself within so many areas of life!? Such as a soul that wishes to be saved-taking hold of a Bible, bended knees, and fellowship etc.~"Have A Very Beautiful Day Beautiful Robin, Love Always, John!"~Bye Dear:) Login to Reply
