Doing the impossible begins by believing it may be possible.
​We start by surrounding oursel​ves with like-minded voices​.
It's why future record-breaking Olympians go off to camp together​.
​It's why Henry Ford surrounded himself with a team of crack engineers and administrators​.
And​ it's why those early disciples formed a community of faith that would believe what Jesus said.
Dear ​friends, the change​s we're trying to make in our li​ves -​ to be more loving, caring, patient, forgiving, and kind, becomes much easier when we surround ourselves with like-minded influences.
This weekend we meet doubting Thomas, whom Jesus inspired to believe, and whose community came around him to nurture​.
All​ this, to show us that the impossible is possible when we believe - which begins by surrounding ourselves with believers.
​Eastertide is inventory time to ask> W​ho and what are the influences around us that propel us to do what's more than possible?
