Ejoy the following short excerpt from the chapter on Lego® bricks:
Nathan Sawaya’s largest Lego® project to date is a replica of a Chris Craft Speedster. It took him more than 180 hours, and he used almost 250,000 bricks. It is more than 10 feet in length, and it holds the world record for the largest Lego® boat.
When commenting on his method, he said that building with Lego® bricks takes a “bottom-up approach.”
The same is true with relationships. When you make a connection, it lays a foundation upon which you can build. The more connections you make, the stronger your foundation becomes and the higher you can build.

The example Moses set of hearing and faithfully answering the call of God is a wonderful lesson for all ages.
