How, not What

I seem to be learning something. It seems like a thing I once knew something about, but then forgot much of. I won't know if I am really learning until I'm tested, but what I seem to be learning is the following:

How I live and how I pursue goals is more important than what I pursue. It is even more important than the success of the pursuit. Also, how I react to situations is significantly more important than the circumstances themselves.

Hmm, you might be on to something...

What I'm learning along those lines is what's even more important is Who you pursue! I'm learning that if I don't pursue God with more fervancy than I pursue anything else it will all end up fruitless and meaningless anyway.

Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. James 1:2-4

An e-toast if I may...
Here's to "considering it ALL joy."

true that ali. As Ji and I often tell each other, it's about one thing. Ps 27:4
