There are some things you cannot change. They are going to happen anyway, regardless of your preferences. Yes, miracles in behavior change do happen, but they are miracles, that is, rare. So I try to keep the daily expectation to accept the things I cannot change. And maybe God does not care to change either. Why let annoyances be your primary emotion for the day?

I sincerely hope your mission thrives. The Church these days seems overly intent on preaching politics and battering its members with ultimatums and threats instead of focusing on the messages of love, forgiveness and daily sacrifice that convert followers from the inside out and are therefore more effective in the long run!
