Faith

When I was young, I believed because I was told to.  As I've matured, I believe because I have faith.

"Questioning our faith and even the object of it is a daily, healthy exercise! Faith cannot be shelved until we need it, for then we will discover that it has grown weak and meaningless from disuse and will not sustain us. The virtue of integrity involves a well-exercised faith that will enable us to survive even the most awful challenges. Even the strongest among us can be reduced to helplessness and silence." 

By Father Thomas Rosica, CSB

Blessing for a Journey

In preparation of Stephanie and the girl's trip back to Missouri, I offer this old Irish verse.

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And the rain fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May you be held in the palm of God's hand.

Back in the Saddle

I note that my blog has been inactive in September.  No excuses.  I'll get it up and running again in October.
