I wish that were true, Sal. "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, I'm told, and told again.
Clichés, received wisdom, bromides. And I've seen, time and time again,in myself, in others, the fragility of human hearts, only realizing when the disaster hit me, how weak I am in the end, and not growing any stronger.

'It is in the broken places that we are strong'.
Last night when I read that I was awe-strucken and humiliated by the perfect strength the Lord gives us. I wrote it down, to remember forever, it should have been in the book of Proverbs.
It is in the broken places that we are strong.
What does it mean “in the broken places”?
