Thus, for we phlegmatic types, patience is natural to us, but zeal is not (using his example). To the extent that the former is easier for us to exercise, we have it in a lesser degree, certainly. This is far removed from not having it at all. I think your point is made too strongly at the end.<br /><br />God bless you for your work :) Gregoriusnoreply@blogger.com
