I saw this question on one of my campers' gmail chat message. It made me think. And I'm still thinking about it.
What would I do if I knew that I wouldn't fall?
What dreams in my heart have I not let sprout?
What would I learn if I had the courage to try?
What would I say if I knew it would be heard?
What would I become if I thought I could?
What would I build if I knew it would last?
Then what is the risk? What is the fear?
What are the doubts between me and there?
The fear is I'm small, incapable, and slow.
The risks maybe measured from sky to ground!
And doubts only multiply the wind within.
But what use is a dream if it never sprouts?
What shelved wisdom has saved a life?
What thought unspoken changed the world?
What old oak grew strong without wind?
What doubt built a better brick then hope?

I was invited ice skating this weekend. I do not like skating. The reason: I do not like falling.
The bigger the risk the bigger the reward. I often wish it wasn't so. Until I think of Jesus.

Jackie: :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts! And yes - no one was faced with more risk then Jesus. I was thinking about that, among many other things, as I wrote this.
It would be a long, long list. But I think now I would start with learning to read another language ;) I didn't know your blog was so international!
"Uou!" I love it! May I copy it and take it to work?
