another trip to *$s. this was actually last week sometime, but i just got around to posting the little quotation from the cup. i’m still baffled by that person who was so angry about these little blurbs being too democratic. i wish i could find that link now, but i’m having trouble locating it.
maybe they don’t want us to have faith in ourselves? i did see a huge banner the other day which read, “have faith in jesus alone!” i wondered then about what message they were really sending. even when i wanted to be a priest i didn’t believe in a god who would swoop in and fix your life if you didn’t even have faith in yourself. he was more like a touchstone for me, but i had to do the living.
I have faith. Faith in our wonderous capacity for hope and good, love and trust, healing and forgiveness. Faith in the blessing of our infinite ability to wonder, question, pray, feel, think and learn. I have faith. Faith in the infinite possibilities of the human spirit.
