It's Been A While

It's been a long time since I have posted anything here. This will be short. Gail and I were discussing a book called "The Faith Club" that she has been reading. It's a book about a relationship between three women; one Christian, one Jew and one Muslim. In listening to Gail tell me about her reading of this book I found it interesting that only the Christian, when confronted with the experiences of her friends, was compelled to question her faith because of her religion's self-proclaimed exclusivity when it comes to God. She thought, if her friends were as clear in their faith and as close to God then her faith must be wrong.

The Christian woman sought counsel with a pastor and was told "the opposite of faith is not doubt, the opposite of faith in certainty."

Faith is the human response to the experience of life. It is one of the only authentic responses.
