Faith

Goodness!  Where do the days go?  This morning I have a delightful read for you from Frederick Buechner's "Wishful Thinking".  Faith is better understood as a verb than as a noun, as a process than as a possession.  It is on-again-off-again rather than once-and-for-all.  Faith is not being sure where you're going, but going anyway.  A journey without maps.  Tillich said that doubt isn't the opposite of faith; it is an element of faith…..Amy introduced us to this man's writing Sunday at our "Finding Spirit Here Now" meeting.  It is absolutely delightful!  If you haven't sampled it, please do!  I love that "faith is not being sure where you're going, but going anyway."  That's me.
