This morning we are talking about Perserverance, or what I like to call: “Grace Under Pressure”. In my mind i like to compare it to the way diamonds are created. The name diamond is derived from the ancient Greek word (adámas), means "proper", "unalterable", "unbreakable", "untamed", from ἀ- (a-), "un-" + δαμάω (damáō), "I overpower", "I tame". Diamonds are extremely rare, with concentrations of at most parts per billion in source rock. A common misconception is that diamonds are formed from highly compressed coal. Coal is formed from buried prehistoric plants, and most diamonds that have been dated are far older than the first land plants. It is possible that diamonds can form from coal in subduction zones, but diamonds formed in this way are rare, and the carbon source is more likely carbonate rocks and organic carbon in sediments, rather than coal. I still like the concept of coal because it rhymes
