The NYTimes article I read early this morning, What Suffering Does, by my favorite NYTimes Columnist, David Brooks, is nothing short of excellent! Its such a helpful and insightful and stirring read for you and me. Dont miss it, please. Why? Because in a culture obsessed with happiness, such as our own, we should remember that coming to terms with suffering is instructive to the soul. Looking at life all around us, on one level, you would think that, for many Americans, lifes main goal is to maximize happiness. Yes, its understandable that people naturally shoot for happiness---we all so often do just that. But, isnt it profoundly true and retrospectively discovered that we actually feel-find-and-discover ourselves more deeply-formed-through-the-very-suffering-we-sought-to-avoid? Yes, this article is a must-read, and a resource invaluable to share with others, and periodically to review-and-reflect-on-and-re-learn-from-for-ourselves!! Grateful for such insightful sharings as this article!!! Love, Pastor Joe
