"Get a good idea and stay with it. Dog it, and work it until it's done and done right." Walt Disney 1 Corinthians 15:58 The Message (MSG) 58 With all this going for us, my dear, dear friends, stand your ground. And don't hold back. Throw yourselves into the work of the Master, confident that nothing you do for him is a waste of time or effort. Michael Jordan, one of the greatest basketball players ever, said, "I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot... and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's precisely why I succeed."
