Horatio, you remind me of things like this...
'Happy are those who know they are poor in spirit, the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs'
'Happy are you when people insult you and tell all kinds of evil lies against you. Be glad, because a great reward is kept for you in heaven.'
The parable of the two Sons... the son that said no first to his father's request later did what his father wanted, whilst the son who said yes first did not do what his father wanted. And Jesus went on to tell a group of priest that the 'tax collectors and prostitutes' would enter the Kingdom before them.
'There is more rejoicing in Heaven over a sheep that was lost and now is found than over 99 sheep that were never lost to begin with.'
Jesus said that 'God shows to the ignorant what he keeps hidden from the wise and the learned.'
...So when you succeed in making it all the way through, remember all of us who are still struggling with getting our emotions balanced. I think you'll appreciate the difficulty of this and not be like some who simply dismiss us as stupid or weak.
(Sorry to get all biblical on you. )
