If you've ever vacationed at the Grand Canyon you might know that the eyes of the mule are so set that it can see where each of its four feet land. That's why it is the animal of choice for the long trek down Bright Angel Trail to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. In 100 years there has never been a fatal mule accident. The mules always pass hikers on the outside of the trail. Their feet land very close to the edge. On the way down the left side is close to danger; on the way up it is the right. But their remarkable vision enables them to walk safely.

If every church had that kind of vision we could bear the Christ triumphantly into tomorrow.
