How A Quadriplegic Taught Me How To Run!

Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” —Matthew 19:26

Going through a bitter divorce is not a fun adventure at all…it’s actually gut wrenching and heartbreaking.

I was watching the movie Jobs, the biopic of Apple’s founder Steve Jobs and one scene in particular really hit me. The scene where current CEO John Sculley , Mike Markkula and the rest of the board went around the table deciding the fate of Steve Jobs with a show of hands.
