The Starfish Flinger by Loren Eiseley, PhD
As the old man walked along the beach at dawn, he noticed a young man ahead of him picking up starfish and flinging them into to the sea.

sun.
“But the beach goes on for miles and there are millions of starfish,”
countered the other. “How can your effort make any difference?“
The young man looked at the starfish in his hand and then threw it to

I feel the same way...I fee like I want one more, but I look around and say "impossible". But God isn't closing that door...it feels almost closed, but not all the way.
