He said something along the lines of “without adversity, you can’t build character.” He said something about “you show me someone who hasn’t faced much adversity, I’ll show you someone who doesn’t have much character.” What he was talking about wasn’t just facing it, but fighting through it while maintaining your goals and standards.

Well, IMHO this is true. Some times, our character is shaped by the adversity. What say you??


Oh lucky you, and the places you visited this Summer. Terrific!
We have a few really terrific guys here, they have a good perspective on life, stick around and chat with them.

The real problem with adversity is that you still some time off to get your head straight!

Oh, Yes, I agree. I think sometimes God gives us the tools or words of incouragement in places we sometimes don't expect. Instead of looking at adversity as just something bad, it gives us the ability to look at adversity as an opportunity to grow.

I'm also reminded of what I heard about the Chinese word for Crisis...supposedly it's the same word for opportunity.

Sometimes, though, words just seem weak, when your tired. I'm going to try to get some rest.
