The Art Of Waiting
24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

THOUGHTS
I heard a statement that 60,000 thoughts go through our brain everyday.
As I pondered this it seemed to me that most of those thoughts can be categorized into a few buckets.
