There was a group of men gathered around a pile of very
heavy rocks which they had great difficulty lifting alone. Then one said, "by
the faith of Jesus Christ!!" And amazingly, he lifted the rock onto a strong
foundation.'
The next man, a bodybuilder, trusted in his weight training
and health shakes and he lifted another rock.
The next man thought about his faith in Allah and how
Muhammad lifted a rock into a cornerstone of the Ka'ba and with that thought he
heaved another stone into position. Then next man summoned the strength of
Shango and moved another block. This went on among the group until they stepped
back and realized they had built a pyramid.
Then they built a flour mill, then a hospital, then a bank
to help their people prosper, then a school- where they taught their
children the science of cooperation, understanding, patience, respect and how
to draw on their true power; their inner strength.
