"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
Adversity is a part of life it seems.. When we lived on the farm it seems there was always a great problem,none like having an enemy firing at you, but a problem nevetheless for quality of life to continue and to solve the problem at hand. One always has to think outside the box as they say and come at the problem from another direction. AND then do it with confidence and sometimes with few materials to work with but using your imagination and ingenuity. All of that makes you a stronger person. Excellent article (blog).
Overcoming adversity - I agree it's a refining process.
Well written - love the example of the USS Texas.
