SWEET STORY FROM LAST YEAR ABOUT CHRISTIANS WHO LOVED AND HELPED SICK ATHEIST RECOVER AND BE CONVERTED
PEYTON MANNING TO THE RESCUE
ALL SUFFERING MAKES US EITHER STRONGER, MORE COURAGEOUS OR WEAKER, MORE FRIGHTENED AND ALOOF. Also it makes us either more self-centered/narcissistic or God/other-centered.
A wonderful example of this truth is in a book I just finished reading: "To End All Wars" by Ernest Gordon, his story about being a POW held by the Japanese during WWII.
ReplyDeleteA movie was made based on this book probably 10 years ago, but the movie does not do justice to the real story told by Gordon - a beautiful story of how God changed men held in horrific conditions, enabling them to serve others and forgive their enemies.
Thanks for the good tip, Fraydna. Sounds like a book I will put on my future reading list. True stories of redemption and transformation like that are more wonderful than any fiction could ever be.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of this Peyton Manning guy. Doesn't he play for some team out west?
ReplyDeleteHey Bob! Yes, some team out west, I believe.
ReplyDeleteHe's incredible!
