Today in our staff meeting we talked about Romans 5. In this chapter the Apostle Paul talks about rejoicing in suffering. One of the things we talked about is that as Americans we sometimes have a warped sense of what suffering is. Case in point is this article from the Chicago Tribune today:
LAKE DELTON, Wis. - Don Kubenik finally burst into tears.
The suburban Milwaukee businessman learned the $500,000, 2,800-square foot second home he built in 2003 on Lake Delton snapped into pieces on Monday after the lake overflowed. Three homes were washed away; two others, including Kubenik's, were ripped apart.
When Gov. Jim Doyle came to comfort Kubenik on Monday afternoon and pledged to help him recover, Kubenik finally lost his composure.
"That house had everything you can imagine and now it's all gone," said Kubenik, who was at his home in suburban Milwaukee, about 100 miles east, when the lake overflowed. "My boat's gone. The pier's gone. Everything is gone."
