patience is the word of the week. seriously. leslie wrote about it, quoting "charlotte's web". it came up in psalms & wisdom class last night. and, most significantly, it's something i need to learn right now.
in that class, by the way, we were asked to invent proverbs about patience. i haven't quite finished tweaking the wording yet, but here's one i'm trying to work out:
blessed is he who lives by patience, for hope will always keep him company. but pity the man who lives by impatience, for he resents the wait and cannot cherish his object once he receives it.

Mara - what's with you and your attempts to improve the scripture? :)
Hey, Dennis, I like her efforts. At least this scripture is in english!
(PS it's also a good proverb. Well done)
thot: since at least two chapters of the book of proverbs aren't from confirmed jewish sources, isn't it ok for a little (confirmed jewish and) Christian girl like me to add a little here and there?
