Crunch time

But we have this treasure in earthern vessels to show that this all-surpassing power is from God
and not from us.
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;
persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.


Therefore we do not lose heart.
Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.
For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

1 Cor 4: 7-10, 16-18

Thanks for the reminder. I couldnt help but laugh though at your last entry. The part you said the carnival was everything that you hoped for then included "crowded and squeezy." hahaha.
