Was reading in this magazine about a school in Maine that has banned 'Tag' from it's recess activities - along with dodge ball and anything else that reeks of team, or winning/losing, or the chance of a skinned knee. There is discussion about banning the whole recess thing. How unreal is that?? How far have we come to shelter' our kids? Knee pads? Helmets? Wrist protectors? 'Participation' awards? None of that was around when I was a kid.
If God had put Joseph in a bubble, where would the entire known world be during the famine? If God had cupped Elijah the palm of His hand and held him against His chest, where would the nation of Israel be? If God had sent His 10 thousand angels while Christ hung on the cross, where would be the hope of the world?
Like it or not, adversity builds character, hardship tempers souls and tears cement humanity. These are good things.
Maybe people should crack a history book and do some study on the Roman Empire.
