A Gift

"Faith comes not through pondering but through action.  Not words and speculation but experience teaches us what God is.  To let in fresh air we have to open a window; to get tanned we must go out into the sunshine.  Achieving faith is no different; we never reach a goal by just sitting in comfort and waiting, say the holy Fathers.  Let the Prodigal Son be our example.  He arose and came."  -Tito Colliander


I was given these words as a gift this morning as I made my way to the Sea-Tac Airport in the pouring rain.

Update: Weather problems in Chicago.  Flight may be delayed an hour--not sure what that means for my connection to Philadelphia.  Please pray.
