Voice of the Day: Paula Ripple on Reverence

Reverence is a gentle virtue; it is also strong. Reverence is a tender virtue; it is also tough. Reverence is a patient virtue; it is also persistent. Reverence bears no ill will toward others; it is able to bear the ill will of others when necessary. Reverence is a virtue that prepares us well to belong to one another; it reaches out to thise who have given messages of not wishing to belong.

When we approach others with gentle reverence, we bring gifts and share theirs with us.

- Paula Ripple
from "Growing Strong at Broken Places"

James Dobson is handling the ill will and vitriol of Progressives hurling insults towards him with great reverence.
He just keeps helping Christians through whatever is thrown against him. What a great Christian man. May the Lord Jesus continue to bless him.
