How long do you put up with the buzzing of a fly or an ant walking across your

plate at a picnic? When you know all you have to do it's just take your finger

and go and that's the end of the annoyance I noticed when I was little and I

was given to combat and violence maybe 50 street fights when I was in high

school that most of my fights were with people my own size my fuse was not

quite as short with guys that were six foot five I did get into fight once

with a guy six for five once I put the emphasis on once that taught me a

little bit about patience the next time I said in other words we tend to be

more patient with people over whom we have no power because we can't afford

not to have patience so in that case patience is not so much a virtue is it

but think of Jesus who at any moment could call on legions of angels and he

stood there and listened to the column these of these men who were arguing with

them theologically who was the beginning and end of theology they're

arguing him about nature he made it they're threatening him with punishment and

he has the power of life and death in his hands and he opened not his mouth he

reminded us of Cyprus that hey look nobody takes my life from but I lay it

down for my sheep and he could have called upon those legions of angels now that

really takes grace to be patient when you have the power to be impatient
