Struggles?

Compared to what is going on the world today in terms of believers being persecuted, the struggles I face are not worth mentioning.  Most of mine deal with issues of convenience.  I spend three or four hours on the phone with my internet service provider to find out why my email is not working.  There are believers in other countries who are spending months trying to get phone service.  Years ago missionaries were fortunate to hear from home every year or so.

In an age and culture where we are so used to things working so well it is easy to forget what real struggles are.
