One must be a contortionist to get along these days. You have to keep your back to the wall, your ear to the ground, your nose to the grindstone and your shoulder to the wheel. You have to keep a level head, both feet on the floor and at the same time have your head in the clouds so you can look for the silver lining.

Just thought I'd share too...

ps. Regarding the Bible, are the versus you mentioned referring to "putting on the armor of God"?
