The Problem of Perspective

Holy Experience is my wife's new favorite blog.

A favorite post of mine is Perspective.

Three quotes:

Be careful how you interpret the world:

It is like that.

~Erich Heller


It isn't that they can't see the solution.

It is that they can't see the problem.

~G.K. Chesterton

She (Ann Voskamp) summarizes:

Lord, when my world snarls, remind me of the problem: my perspective.

Today, please, could you help me find the You-Beauty in the ugliness? 

Worth a visit.
