Don't Look Back


     Bravery dresses in various colored uniforms and performs daily in places of prestige and high honor as well as in small shops on side streets. It looks like a soldier in the field, a mother rocking a sick baby at midnight, a teacher in front of a restless classroom, a 48 year old man leaving behind the financial industry to open a motorcycle repair shop. It's about moving forward in spite of fear. With persistent renewal of the mind, fear dissipates into less than vapor and courage emerges in full array. The three words bravery repeats often to itself are "don't look back."

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
Psalms 125:1
