When Ben Franklin first proposed his idea of street lights to the Philadelphia City Council, the idea was voted down as ludicrous. Rather than being discouraged, he decided to install a lantern on the street near his house. Others liked walking in the warm glow by his home and decided to place lanterns close to their homes as well. Before long, the streets of Philadelphia were lit with Franklin’s idea. Whatever it is that you would like others to do, begin yourself. If you’ve tried and failed, forgive yourself and try again. One person can make a difference. And that one person can be you. When we are living like a Christian, that one person WILL be you!
Honorable Beverly Nettles-Nickerson
