It keeps on striving until it finds a path through, tunnels underneath, and simply turns that mountain into level ground. That's the difference. It is the same with our lives, because if we go through life when allowing the Holy Spirit to overshadow us, we allow the Holy Spirit to empower us. We see that events become unpredictable and that emotions are undependable.
Enthusiasm is undepletable and that eternity is understandable.
Ryan is 5 and Dillon is 8, and they both waited patiently for mom to finish the pancakes. And both boys started arguing back and forth about who was going to get the first pancake.

It is not termination, but a transition.
