Piece of Spiritual Advice

7/05/2007 11:11:31

How does this sound, as a little knob of wisdom?

Make use of that which is available at your disposal and ... bend it to suit your needs, (improvise) rather than waste valuable time becoming despondent over that which is not within your reach.


And how true this is. A kind of restatement of Niebuhr's Serenity Prayer:

God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things that should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other."


So where was the first little jewel from? An al-Qaeda bombmaking manual recovered from a computer in Pakistan three years ago, according to today's Washington Post.
