Lessons from the Ark
August 12, 2015
No one can whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it.
-H. E Luccock (1885-1960), professor at Yale Divinity School

At the 67th OMEP World Assembly and Conference in Washington, DC, Marian Wright Edelman made a presentation, "6 Lessons from Noah's Ark". Some excerpts:

Lesson One: Don't miss the boat. The United States is going to miss the boat to lead and compete in our globalizing world because we are not preparing the majority of our children for the future.

Lesson Two: We are all in the same boat.

Lesson Three: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark. Tomorrow is today and children have only one childhood. They need to be healthy now.

Lesson Four: Don't listen to the critics and naysayers. Just get on with the job that needs to be done to educate our children.

Lesson Five: For safety's sake, travel in pairs. Better still, travel in groups able to make a ruckus loud enough to be heard.

Lesson Six: Remember that the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals. Use your own power to make a difference.

I wasn't aware ExchangeEveryDay was a Christian magazine. As someone who believes in Evolution, I find it retrograde to refer to Noah's Ark like it was a reality.
I enjoy reading the information on other occasions - great material that forward to others.
Keep up the good work but miss me out when it refers to cults. :-)
