The Quest for Character

Tom Landry once said, "My task is to renew the minds of our players so that I can get them to do what they do not want to do in order for them to achieve what they want to achieve." We all want the character; we just don't want the suffering. And yet (Romans 5) teaches us that as we go through the process of suffering, there is produced the product of character.
