Who is sufficient?

As is her usual practice, the Prissy Princess is working feverishly to beat yet another work deadline. You might wonder why she does not try to spread her workload out so that she is not always so stressed out near the end of a project. The Gallant Hero wonders this, too. He tries to encourage her to develop good time management skills by giving her books such as Getting Things Done, but -- although it may have wonderful ideas on time management -- because she is behind in meeting her deadline, she has no time to read it. He also encourages her by bringing her Diet Pepsi while she is working, which is far more helpful.

Sometimes the Prissy Princess gets very discouraged when working on projects by writers who seem to think their readers enjoy deciphering material that makes their head ache. Sometimes, because of this, her soul echoes the words of the Apostle Paul: "And who is sufficient for these things?"

And sometimes, when the princess does not get out of the house for several days, she develops some unfortunate personality characteristics. These personality characteristics have been known to move the Gallant Hero to ask the Lord, out loud, to please help those who are grumpy to improve their attitude.

She just hopes the Lord does not suggest that the Hero give her a book about it.
