pocketed the money and professed the building. Catherine,
confined to her royal routine never knew she was being fooled.
When she announced she wanted to see her town, Potyemkin ordered
stage-prop villages with lavish exteriors with nothing inside to
be built. The empress never emerged from her carriage and was
fooled by the facade.
Let's turn in the O.T. to consider a personality who had the
enabling grace of God in difficulty. With all of his afflictions
Job almost went under 3 times. He got so dejected he cried out 3
times: "Let me alone..."
