Persistence pays off
I want to illustrate a couple of ways in which the title is true.
1. Today I received in the mail two checks from the government of Quebec. One is a bursary from Quebec student loans (QSL) that I should have received roughly 18 months ago. That was nice. But kudos to the QSL people: They paid me interest. Wow. That's something. Persistence in writing letters and making phone calls leaves me happier right now.
2. The good people of Canada suffered under tolerable gov't with the Chretien Liberals and endured bad gov't under Paul Martin. Their persistence has led to a PM who actually has vision for the country. One little dividend to this PM: He understands the people. Here's some evidence.
3. I will be doing a devotional tomorrow night on Matthew's genealogy of Jesus. Talk about persistent people and persistence in the cases of Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Uriah ('s wife)...and, of course, Mary.
Merry Christmas!

you want to talk about persistence not paying off? How about waiting on the dept of naturalization and citizenship to get a green card? only took two full years. How about waiting on bethany to cough up the last year of presidential scholarships circa 1999? How about still hoping that today will be the day that you don't want to say to hell with it all and take up debauchery? Discipline is suckfully difficult.
