I also know that there is only one place where that angry, reactive, overwhelmed self can be transformed – the same place that Mary chose – the feet of Jesus… When I get into His presence, the whole world looks different. When I draw close to His heart, I find mercy when I know I deserve judgment; I find forgiveness for all my petty, selfish ways; I find grace for all my inadequacies; I find peace for my troubled heart; I find perspective for my distorted views. In Him, I find an eye in the midst of the storm. Oh the storm around me may not immediately subside; but the storm within me is made calm.

Thirsty Business

An Arab diplomat visiting the US for the first time was being wined and
dined by the State Department. The Grand Emir was not accustomed to the
salt in American foods (french fries, cheeses, salami, anchovies ets)
and was constantly sending his man-servant Abdul to fetch him a glass of
water.

Time and again, Abdul would scamper off and return with a glass of water,
but then came the time when he returned empty-handed.

"Abdul, you son of an ugly camel, where is my water??" demanded the Grand
Emir.

"A thousand pardons, Oh Illustrious One," stammered Abdul, "man sit on
well."
