It is obvious that we all enjoy the “good times” of life. Whether it be a day at the beach or full nights rest, we rate times of our lives as “good” when things are going our way. While good times are enjoyable, it is the bad times that are the most helpful. If that sounds strange, we hope that by the end of our time today you will agree that there are Good Things about Bad Times.
