We all love the characters made famous by author A. A. Milne in his book revolving around the 100 Acre wood and the leader of the pack, Winnie the Pooh. While Winnie can make a great metaphoric parallel to the average American Christian; one who is hungry for spiritual food, but often gets into trouble trying to get it, and makes plenty of mistake along the way as he matures, we must take notice.

When faced with hard times, we have a choice. We can look back through history to those before us who have suffered similarly, or even more so than us, and say, "hey, they made it through this, we are going to get through this as well" and work our hardest to make that happen.
