Life and Whatnot

The weekend’s over?


Well, the weekend is over, can you believe it? I’d be tempted to say “Oh man, another Monday? This sucks.” Or maybe say, “Oh crud, I don’t wanna go to work.”

Yes, I’ve been guilty of saying just those very words. And not too long ago, mind you. Anyway, this morning, I got a neat question in my email about Hope (Romans 5:1-5) and it got me thinking about something in those words: “Suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.”

When did we ever learn a lesson when it wasn’t as a result of some sore of event through which we persevered? It’s my prayer that this economic unrest through which we’re currently struggling, that we, as a nation, can come out stronger and more hopeful.
