Jeremiah has an ally in Baruch. He had a chance at position but chose faithfulness. Baruch consequently suffers the consequences of exile. He is promised his life anywhere he lives.

Paul has a thorn in the flesh. What was it? Epilepsy? An appearance problem? Whatever it was Paul used to his advantage. He wrote..."in weakness is strength" and "God's grace is sufficient in weakness." How true! Who said church folks are "holier than thou?"
