    Saturday of 22nd Week in Course When somebody asks me how I am, I almost always answer, “grateful.” One of the big reasons I do that is what St. Paul teaches in our epistle today: “What do you have that you did not receive?” I know that any talent or other asset I have is a divine gift.

    When Saul made mistakes in judgment or sinned, he had the pattern of making things hard for himself by overlooking them or blaming others instead of coming back to the heart of the matter and doing the simple things God wants most.
