In God's Economy
"In God's economy, nothing is wasted. Through failure, we learn a lesson in humility wich is probably needed, painful though it is."

***********************************

We did not always come closer to wisdom by reason of our virtues; our better understanding is often rooted in the pains of our former follies. Because this has been the essence of our individual experience, it is also the essence of our experience as a fellowship.

heh. After smashing the same 2 fingers over 10,000 times roofing, I am slowly, over the years learning a painful lesson in humility. I'm just not sure what it is yet. I have, however, slowly exausted a lifetime of expletives, to the point of half-heartedly inventing new ones or just saying, "Oh, Well."
So, I guess, even in the mindless torment of mangling myself in 30* weather on top of a roof, nothing is wasted.
