J did a talk last night at Ground Zero around Jesus' interaction with the woman caught in adultery. We talked a lot about our own change, the garbage we have, how we deal with it and how God looks at us in the midst of it and what he thinks about it. One of the big things that stuck with me was this quote:

When you can no longer change the situation you may change yourself.

We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.
--Viktor Frankel

Not too shabby for a guy who spent three years in a concentration camp.
