If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.

If hoping for something badly enough could make it happen.

In the heroic effort of the handcart pioneers, we learn a great truth. All must pass through a refiner’s fire, and the insignificant and unimportant in our lives can melt away like dross and make our faith bright, intact, and strong.
