Andy came to work one day, limping something awful. One of his co-workers noticed and asked what happened.
Andy replied, "Oh, nothing. It's just an old hockey injury that acts up once in a while."
"I never knew you played hockey."
"I don't," said Andy. "I hurt it last year when I lost $1,000 on the Stanley Cup playoffs and put my foot through the television."
If you have courage, you will influence people based on your convictions. If you lack courage, you will influence people based on your comfort zones. Courage will take you any- where you believe God is leading you. Without courage, you will go where you are comfortable.
