More Wisdom from Frederick Buechner

Much of the trouble in our world is caused by people who are not content to be what God has created them to be. The story of Adam and Eve repeats itself in every person in every generation. But what can we do? Here is what Frederick Buechner says:

"Jesus went all alone into the wilderness where he spent forty days asking himself the question what it meant to be Jesus. During Lent, Christians are supposed to ask one way or another what it means to be themselves" (Whistling in the Dark).
