The Bumble Bee Flies Anyway – Believing in the Impossible
Ordinary Time – Season of Stability
Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn’t be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn’t know it so it goes on flying anyway. (Mary Kay Ash) Or so the myth goes. Still I love the idea. The humble bumble bee can teach us a few tricks!

Peter was able to walk on water as long as he didn’t let his brain get in the way. Once he realized what he was doing and let his brain take over, he began to sink. When he focused on Jesus he was okay again.
