Perspectives.

Excerpt from God's Power to Change Your Life, by Rick Warren, Page 70 (Zondervan)

"Maybe you have heard of the letter a college student wrote to her parents. It clearly shows how perspective influences our reactions. The letter said:

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm sorry to be so long in writing. Unfortunately, all my stationery was destroyed the night our dorm was set on fire by the demonstrators. I'm out of the hospital now, and the doctors say my eyesight should return - sooner or later. The wonderful boy, Bill who rescued me from the fire, kindly offered to share his little apartment with me until the dorm is rebuilt. He comes from a good family, so you won't be surprised when I tell you we're going to be married. In fact, since you've always wanted a grandchild, you'll be glad to know that you'll be grandparents next month.

P.S. Please disregard the above practice in English composition. There was no fire, I haven't been in the hospital, I'm not pregnant, and I don't even have a steady boyfriend. But I did get a D in French and an F in Chemistry, and I just wanted to be sure you received this news in the proper perspective. "

Doh! rather amusing again. n ok he has a point. hehz. changing my perspective... hmmmMMMM
