Where everyone has a place

Just when you need a push in the right direction, one always comes along.  Today, I am reminded more than ever that if I speak alone, there is only one voice, but if I speak in unison with others, the word that is spoken stands a much better chance of being heard.

This bit of wisdom has a place at our meeting tables, at our dining tables and at the tables that still are empty for want of people to encircle them.

Evidence the following video which made its way to me in just the past couple of hours.  The story is about a young boy named Ike Ditzenberger who has lived with Down's Syndrome.  Despite his abiding dream to play football, many would have doubted his ability, but he didn't give up.  In fact his brothers, and their friends made it possible for him to live a dream that he thought would never come true, a dream that will no doubt be the subject of conversation for the rest of his life:


What dreams still lie dormant within us, either because we believe them out of our reach, or because someone else has led us to believe that they are?  What would it take to prove them wrong?
