A Dozen Steps

From The Desk of Dr. Bob

by Mark on October 22nd, 2007

Trying not to speak too soon again, Comcast appears to have settled their difficulties with their connectivity (we’ve stayed online for 6 hours plus now) so I’d like to repeat this too you from the desk of Dr. Bob;

Humility

“Perpetual quietness of heart. It is to have no trouble. It is never to be fretted or vexed, irritable or sore; to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me.”

“It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised, it is to have a blessed home in myself where I can go in and shut the door and pray to my Father in secret and be at peace, as in a deep sea of calmness, when all around and about is seeming trouble.”

I don’t know if this is still there, but the copy I found says that this was from the Office of Robert Holbrook Smith, MD, 928 Second National Building, Akron, Ohio.
