DON'T GET HUNG UP ON APPEARANCES

DON’T GET HUNG UP ON APPEARANCES

As I perused the following height statistics pertaining to famous or historical personalities, it occurred to me that one doesn’t have to be tall to be big.

Olga Korbut, Soviet gymnast 4'11"
Dolly Parton, American singer 5'
Victoria, British queen 5'
John Keats, English poet 5'1"
Alexander Pope, English poet 4'6"                                                                                                        Debbie Reynolds, American actress 5'1"                                                                                                   St. Francis of Assisi, Italian saint 5'1"

Yuri Gagarin, Soviet cosmonaut 5'2"
Nikita Khrushchev, Soviet leader 5'3"
Micky Rooney, American actor 5'3"
Voltaire, French writer 5'3"
James Madison, American president 5'4"
Pablo Picasso, Spanish painter 5'4"
Haile Selassie, Ethiopian emperor 5'4"
Hirohito, Japanese emperor 5'5"
Aristotle Onassis, Greek shipping tycoon 5'5"
Napoleon Bonaparte, French emperor 5'6"
Tutankhamen, Egyptian king 5'6"

The take-away from this list is simply this: We must not focus so intently on the physical attributes of others.  There are personal characteristics that actually matter – so much more.

Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
