Let me tell you a personal story. Forty-six years ago we were preparing to put on the Easter Pageant again.
It was in the Orange Bowl and even though much time, sets and publicity were donated free, I had already spent $4,000.and that figure was continuing to mount. Now $4,000, 46 years ago, was a lot of money. And we weren’t charging for tickets, we were just passing the plate.
Rev. Frank Titus, our treasurer, walked into an executive board meeting and reported, “Well, gentlemen, we had $13 in the bank. I just received $7 more, so now we have $20. Fact is, I just got the liability insurance on credit.”
On Friday, the morning newspaper promised rain for Easter weekend. All of Friday and Saturday it was cloudy and it really did look like it was going to pour - and people don’t come to outdoor pageants in the rain.
But I never worried.
I had done all I physically could do, notice the phrase.. all I could physically do. And now it was out of my hands.
What happened when it was all over? We ended up $2000 in the black.
Good business practice? It wasn’t. Common sense? It wasn’t. Would I do it again? Sure would.
Sometimes a leap of faith no matter the outcome just has to happen. That grain of mustard seed is another way of putting it.
Matthew 17:20 (King James Version)
“…If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”
