Jesus Isn’t Looking for Flashy – “Sometimes it crosses my mind–aren’t there more lofty callings I’m equipped for? What about the other gifts God has given me?”

    Petty Annoyances and Minor Insults

    I wonder if you are like me in that, as you look back on your life, you realize that most of the circumstances that have troubled you, most of the annoyances and disgruntlements, were produced by circumstances that were hardly worth noticing.
