The Proverb tells us that enduring physical sickness is often easier to endure than a crushed spirit. When you become sick, it's one thing. But when you become depressed because of that sickness, it's another. Who can bear a crushed spirit? Who can handle a broken soul? (3 Minutes/700 Words)

I love the movie Nacho Libre. Many people on my staff love it also, while many hate it, and a couple have never seen it (don't worry, I have rebuked them privately for their sin).
