Yes, the Moody interview was a good episode. Regarding his reframes, the first reminds me of a time years ago when I was picking up my daughter from a friend's house across town. I was driving Houston's West Loop (I-610), one of the busiest freeways in Texas, but it was late Sunday night, so was just sailing along. But I got quite a shock, hardly 15 minutes later coming back, to see a massive number of emergency vehicles and a huge wreck on the other side, which must have happened moments after I had passed through that space. It's times like that where I'm suddenly confronted with the reality of how important God's protection is.

And regarding his second reframe, we've had a number of frustrations with neighbors over the years, sometimes because they don't like our Christian 'witness' (even though we never say anything), our many kids running around the neighborhood, our antisocial behavior (homeschooling), or whatever petty thing. But I've learned to try to be charitable, many times discovering later that they were indeed, like Moody observed, going through some unseen trial or tribulation.
