Tuesday, June 3, 2008Kevin Carroll is a ‘katalyst’. He worked as an Air Force man, an athletic trainer for the Philadelphia 76ers and eventually an in-house motivator/innovator and idea man for Nike.

Which reminds me…Tomorrow night the children of our church, Mosaic Kids, begin construction on a crazy project. They are building a 70 foot ark! Has that ever been done before? Not by kids, it hasn’t. I think a few people called Noah crazy! Have you heard of this guy or his book? Are there too many books like this? What do you think?”
A 70 foot ark, crazy? Not if those kids have a serious D.R.E.A.M. and are - dedicated to the cause, responsible enough to manage the numerous details of a project this large, have the requisite education necessary to make building a 70 foot ark not only possible but a technical certainty; maintain a positive, can-do attitude; and IF they are motivated to stay the course (think Tiger Woods from this weekend past…ANYTHING is possible
