I was downsized Friday after five years of working with the same company. Now I need to find another job within the next three weeks if I want to keep all my bills paid on time. At the same time, this is an opportunity to seek a new direction.

He didn't need the brain, only the education to use it. Frankie had the ability to swim and tried to fly. It's a little different, sure, but both stories talk about appreciating the gifts we have.

We can't compare ourselves with others. We simply must strive to use the talents God has given us to the best of our ability.
