life like chess

I never had the patience to learn chess, at least the right way; and I always thought it was for boring people, I mean, where's the excitement? But of course, in God's grace, I'm slowly and painfully learning that true life is about so much more than I ever thought. I know how to play, just not wisely, and I've always lost. Zealousness means nothing if it isn't rightly directed.

"...and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls." James 1:21

meekness
n 1: the feeling of patient submissive humbleness [syn: submission] 2: a disposition to be patient and long suffering


oh God, give us hearts that truly live in patient submissive humbleness...
