A college student accidentally solved an impossible math problem. George Dantzig arrived late to class to find his peers working silently on several math problems written on the chalkboard. George worked through the problems and turned his paper in.
Later, he learned that one of those problems wasn’t homework after all, but was an equation that mathematicians considered unsolvable. George solved the problem, simply because he didn’t know it was supposed to be impossible.
There’s a lesson here for us as parents of boys. In a society that’s increasingly negative towards men, let’s be positive about the dreams and aspirations our sons have, even if they seem a little far-fetched. Who knows what they can accomplish if they live by Luke 1:37- With God, nothing is impossible.
