Perfect vision

I had a fairly animated conversation with a couple of people recently, and it really struck me that people want to diagnose the symptoms instead of the problems in any given situation. We seem content in treating the sneezing instead of removing the mold and allergens from the house. Continually mopping up water that drips from the ceiling instead of fixing the roof. Putting air in a tire over & over again instead of getting a replacement or patching the hole. Getting infuriated and browbeating the messenger when the root problems are the issue.

It's a crying shame more people don't see the forest for the trees.

I would like to speak a resounding amen. You two are an inspiration to me. Love you both, and I'm praying for you!
