I was about 7 or 8 when an older kid, whom I did not know, cornered me in the boy's room at school. He said " Hey kid wanna see a trick?". He put a quarter on his bent elbow popped his arm straight and snatched it with his hand.
That might have been the most amazing feat of greatness I had witnessed up to that moment.
My friends and I quickly mastered the skill and it became a contest, stacking 5-10-20 coins at a time.
Failure was really loud upon the kitchen floor.
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.
