Angrily he lifted his eyes to heaven and said, “God, how could you allow such suffering?

Little things can be won easily through systems and personal discipline. But major issues need major strategic thinking time.

“The unfortunate truth is that many of us, instead of offering total forgiveness, pray something like this Irish Prayer: May those who love us, love us; And those who don’t love us May God turn their hearts; And if He doesn’t turn their hearts, May He turn their ankles, So we’ll know them by their limping.
