We are told to ‘consider’, tests and challenges and trials!!! Who would ‘consider’ that? Doesn’t mean it isn’t a good thing though. But… what do we get from doing this? How do we view tests, challenges, and trials? Unfair? How are we to ‘consider’? “Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come […]
Trustable. Are you trustable? It probably would help if I provided my definition for this word so you’d know how I was defining and expressing this word.

World of difference between those 2. Granted, a ‘have to’ can become a ‘get to’ but I don’t think it works in the reverse… it would take all the joy out of being a ‘get to’. The points are: 1. we can choose which will be our attitude, in both states and 2. how we
