from his book How to Handle Adversity
"Suffering is unavoidable. It comes without warning; it takes us by surprise. It can shatter or strengthen us. It can be the source of great bitterness or abounding joy. It can be the means by which our faith is destroyed. Or it can be the tool through which our faith is deepened. The outcome hinges not on the nature or source of our adversity, but on the character and spirit of our response. Our response to adversity will for the most part by determined by our reason for living, our purpose for being on this earth, as we see it."
Next week I am to have a CT scan done. This type test always makes me a bit apprehensive. Please, intercede for me that I would remain calm, especially for the interim time between the test and my next Block Center appoint, which is scheduled for the 30th.
