Growing Strong

 

Whilst we deliberate how to begin a thing,

 it grows too late to begin it.

Quintillian

Neil Diamond- the ultimate lyrics about beginning

“Where it began
I can't begin to know it

But, then I know it's growing strong”

Or the song that everyone danced to at their wedding in the 70’s by the Carpenters

“Before the rising sun, we fly

So many roads to choose
We start out walking

And learn to run
And yes! We've just begun”

What makes us so entranced with beginnings?

Because we believe this beginning will be the best of all beginnings

or, as Churchill said:

 "Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."

 and that's poetiquejustis

  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.  All things were made through Him, and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life,and the life was the light of men.  

 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

John 1:1-5
