Is it just me or is it in fact a complete and utter irony that the most self-righteous people we have the unfortunate occasion of meeting are more often than not the most blessed among us?
I don't get it.
Today, while reading comments on a blog post, I came across a comment from a woman who went off-roading about how everyone needs to stop whining about the mortgage crisis (including people losing their homes) because, after all, she had a great childhood, and her parents laid for her the perfect foundation, and she spent five years saving for her house, and now she lives in a McCastle and stays home with her kids, and her husband makes $100,000 a year.
Chock this up as another person with whom I probably wouldn't want to have coffee.

One time, I heard a Greek and Hebrew scholar address a crowd of 2,000 people. He told everyone to take a good look around and find someone we knew going through the hardest of times. He then said, "This is the person you want to be close to, because the greater the fire one walks through the greater the faith he or she has."

Oh my gosh! Please don't ever stop provoking me to think. Jen you are such an inspiration to me. You have a way of turning problems or the ugliness of the world to the "light."
You are truly a gifted gal!
@ang - thank you so much. I really don't deserve such kind words. I do spend an inordinate amount of time examing the world and being completely puzzled most of the time. LOL!
So true! The greater the fire, the greater the faith.
Sometimes people turn away from God in their despair - not knowing that He is the only answer to it.
I know, no matter what comes in my life, I will never turn from my Father - never blame Him.
