I met a
group of fellows the other day and each shared life’s events for the ending
year!... I shared how my work challenges
were political and expected to continue for the next year!... another comment from a member of the group caught
my attention profoundly!... he stated he was recently
released from prison after spending eighteen years!... we asked how was he able to cope?... He answered, “everyday he asked God to give him
strength to overcome his surroundings.”
WoW!...
