Shaped by the struggle

This photograph by Ansel Adams reminds me that the struggle may bend us but stand we shall.

Pessimisms

It’s always darkest before it goes pitch black.  Connie Wimbler

Today’s Quote 6/22/09

If one Egyptian tailor hadn’t cheated on the threads of Joseph’s mantle, Potiphar’s wife would never have been able to tear it, present it as evidence to Potiphar that Joseph attached her, gotten him thrown in prison, and let him be in a position to interpret Pharaoh’s dream, win his confidence, advise him to store seven years of grain, and save his family, the seventy original Jews from whom Jesus came.  We owe our salvation to a cheap Egyptian tailor.    Peter Kreeft
