Once again, we’re thinking about suffering. It feels like I have written multiple times on this subject since the inception of this blog, from various angles or touchpoints, and yet I’m just not done thinking or talking about it. Trust me the irony of the phrase “Enjoy Suffering” is not lost on me. It’s an oxymoron of the highest caliber. Suffering often doesn’t bring enjoyment to the flesh, instead, it is filled with uncertainty, distress, and despair. But on closer look, perhaps the phrase “suffering and smiling” is not so far-fetched according to scripture.
