Thanks. Also glad you liked the generic avatars. If you want your own image you can always get a Gravatar which will follow you to most sites now.

Thanks. Too bad you couldn’t be forced to wait for each thought. Oh well.

In many ways apathy is worse that hate. Hate is what causes a few people do really bad things. Apathy is what lets an entire nation do really bad things. Also, Thanks

Well, I relate to your obsessing vs forgetting problem for sure. And I liked all the random thoughts on patience. Lots to process.

As to this post — I only saw it now and love it!

This made me smile and wish it were true!

“Patience is earned. I wish it could be bought or given.”

Great stuff!

Patience is definitely earned and learned. We have to be careful what we ask for. We may just get it, just not like how we think it should come.

Thanks for the great post.

Thanks for checking in. I was venting on twitter earlier that the timing of this patience post was terrible since I’m snowed in with 4 young kids. That is enough to drive anyone batty. It seems that whenever we even talk about patience we are put to the test. I’m glad that some people were able to band together today and take comfort in what others have said. I know I’ve enjoyed the 30+ other posts on patience. Might just keep my sanity for another day.

That makes more than a little sense. I also think those are the kind of things God is really talking about. I will be mentioning what patience really is with my last update.

I will be praying for your family though. It can be very hard in this economy when you have a job so I can imagine how much more stressful it is without that assurance of income.

Don’t we all. Maybe that is why we’ve had all the snow. To teach us patience?
