Faith is trusting the divine presence to be in every moment,
in every tomorrow
Faith is having the courage to walk into the unknown, to
confront whatever life brings one’s way
Without having our humanity destroyed in the process.

_______________________________________
faith is the belief
in the crazy generosity and love of God
faith keeps us moving
searching
questing
when everything hurts
and pain seems unending and uncontrollable
faith keeps striving to do good
when we feel like nothing we do works
faith keeps us smiling when our heads are
bald from cancer treatments (This one is for Steve Hayner)
it is not the absence of doubt
as Buechner says,
“doubt is the ants in the pants of faith”
but faith knows that when we go deep
to the core
to the center of who we are as children of the Sacred
what we find is an amazing love
which casts out fear
and in the context of that love
we find ourselves as the carriers of the Sacred
and as carriers of the Sacred
we become people
who love
and care
and give
people whose
fundamental humanity remains alive
in an inhuman world
