When I am weak, then am I strong
2 Cor. 12:10
This is God’s way. We advance by going backwards, we become strong by becoming weak, we become wise by being fools.

In the course of our travels on this earth we encounter many different individuals. Those encounters range from pleasant to regretful, both in-person and unseen. The scripture quote is especially relevant for me. I have spent many hours, even longer, being weak and a fool (Not that there was a choice in most cases). It felt like going in reverse at times. That is when you realize you are alone with no-one to share the loneliness, to show the way back, to hold hands. It is also the time we find strength to move forward and press on in the apparent lack of direction. The reality of life is that only at these times are we truly strong. Strength and wisdom are co-existent in being weak and, at times, a fool. I am no superman. I am not invincible, nor can I fly or walk on water. We can learn from our passage through life. It is well to remember that as we pass through this life everything anyone does affects everyone else in this life. The good, the bad and the ugly all affect everyone. There is more to learn from the bible and the wisdom within its pages than most bother to seek from it.
May the good Lord bless and keep you safe. Remember to "Alway Love Details."
