It is not so much the Major events in life

Everyday moments are the molecules that make up eternity! "It is not so much the major events in life, as the small day-to-day decisions that map the course of our living. Our lives are, in reality, the sum total of our seemingly unimportant decisions and of our capacity to live by those decision...s" "We learn to cope with the people of this world because we learn to cope with the members of our family. Those who flee the family, flee the world; bereft of the [family's] affection, tutelage, and challenges, they are unprepared for the [world's] tests, judgments, and demands" (The Moral Sense [1993], 163). How ironic is it when that some go "into a far country" (Luke 15:13), leaving the nourishing family garden--in which there may be some weeds--and go into a desert with its tumbling sagebrush.
