General Robert E. Lee's Recommendation -

    General Robert E. Lee once wrote a glowing recommendation for a man who had bitterly criticized him. "How can you give that man such an excellent reference?" he was asked, "Don't you know he has been your severest critic?" 

    Lee replied, "I was asked to give my opinion of him, not his opinion of me." Troublesome times offer us opportunities to show what we are. When the critics are hottest, our faith is being tested; and what we are will show in how we worship God.
