We often don't think of being broken as a good thing, but actually brokenness often leads to our greatest breakthrough.

Less Of Me
I realize I may be one of the few folks under fifty who genuinely enjoys listening to the Statler Brothers, especially their gospel music. One my favorite songs they recorded is Less Of Me.
