A Good Thought

This is actually humorous in a way, but it does well to 

remember what the Bible says about perseverance.

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, PERSEVERANCE;
and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.
1 Peter 1:5-7
