"Let's consider your age to begin with--how old are you?"
"I'm seven and a half exactly."
"You needn't say 'exactly', " the Queen remarked. "I can believe it without
that. Now I'll give you something to believe. I'm just one hundred and
one, five months and a day."
"I can't believe that," said Alice."
"Can't you?" the Queen said in a pitying tone. "Try again. Draw a long
breath, and shut your eyes."
Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said. "One can't believe
impossible things."
"I dare say you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I
was your age I always did for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I
believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
--Through the Looking Glass, by Lewis Carroll
What is it that you know that you know that you know God is asking
you to believe, but everything else in your life is screaming in your face,
"That's impossible"? And yet deep down inside you echoes that soft,
small whisper wooing, "I love you. Trust me." Will you dare to ignore
the screams and pursue the whisper?--Chip Kirk
