So here we have Paul-- a prisoner. Shipwrecked, cold, hungry. Was he saying "I told you so" under his breath the whole time, having warned the leadership and gotten ignored? Was he asking himself, "Could this Monday get any worse?" And then he gets snake-bit. I'm pretty sure I would have been a little cranky under the circumstances. But what does he do? He perseveres, and he serves. And then he starts healing people.
