Building A Cathedral
A man was passing a work site and saw three bricklayers.
He approached the first bricklayer and asked: “What are you doing?”
The man answered, “Making a living!”
He asked the second man the same question and he answered,
“Laying bricks!” He asked the third worker: “What are you doing?” and the man responded “Building a Cathedral!”

“Write the vision down…to be easily read, since this vision is for its own time only: eager for its own fulfilment, it does not deceive; if it comes slowly, wait, for come it will, without fail”…..Habakkuk 2:2-3 (Prophet in the Hebrew Scriptures/Old Testament)
