“Many years ago,” the story goes, “a man named Blonden strung a tightrope across Niagara Falls, and proceeded to traverse the raging waters. A crowd gathered as he successfully made his way back to his starting place.
“Who here believes I can cross over Niagara Falls again, but this time pushing a wheelbarrow?”
The exhilarated crowd began shouting, “We believe, we believe!” And sure enough, Blonden steered that wheelbarrow successfully across The Falls and back, to the riotous applause of the onlookers!
“Who here believes I can cross over Niagara Falls a 3rd time, but this time with a man in the wheelbarrow?”
The crowd could barely control their enthusiasm, so spectacular were the achievements of this death-defying tightrope-ist. “We believe! We believe!” they shouted, all the louder.
Blonden replied, “Ok, then who will be my first volunteer in the wheelbarrow?”
Silence.
Faith is getting in the wheelbarrow, not just screaming, “I believe "
