>Cheryl Wade, a writer for the Midland Daily News, tells about a personal experience in reading the Old Testament that changed her life. Here is her story:

I don’t often compare myself to old Moses in the Bible but, oh boy, have I learned some lessons from him!

Several years ago, I got really, really frustrated at work, so frustrated that I swore out loud, right in the middle of the newsroom. My editor was annoyed, and a female customer gave a funny smile before she left and went her way.

I just read something in an obscure Old Testament passage that stopped me cold and made me think of that long-ago experience.

Here’s the story . . .

Her story is inspirational. I think all of us can learn a little common sense from her experience.
