                    SUCCESS IN DIFFICULTY
"Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles that one has overcome while trying to succeed." - Booker T. Washington (1856–1915), Educator, as quoted in Bits & Pieces, Vol. T/No. 17, p. 5 -

                    	For some, the presence of difficulties and suffering in the world mean that God is punishing them for something.  But for others, it is the sign that God is not able to do anything about the problems they face.  Others wonder if he simply does not care.

                    A Christian grocer was in financial difficulties because his customers thought they could run up their bills indefinitely.
