A message to myself and those smart enough not to tune out...
"So we must listen very carefully to the truths we have heard, or we may drift away from them. For since the messages from angels have always proved true and people have always been punished for disobeying them..."
I choose the KJV here for this one to tie it together, more bossy and bold:
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen..."
But I love my LIfe Application version sooooo much, which says it as so...
"What is faith? It is the confident assurance that somthing we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead."
That is encapsulating, engulfing, to me. That is worth seeking out on any terms prescribed unto me. It sure beats the terms I've been given by any other persona in my life.
Faith is needed: My alcohol problem, my smoky lies, my unfinished attempts...faith. Faith. FAITH, carefully, words by both authors show the love, guidance, care, concern, needed articulation of faith to those that seek or care or even peer in curiosity in a moment's lingering. We should see the unquestionable love that extends to us, backward and forward, from our meager step to take one mico-brain second to believe, or even give pause for consideration.

As you know, I've been going through the Old Testament. If you want to see an excellent picture of faith, read Job. Our Bible study leader asked us if this book was about suffering or faith? Overwhelmingly, we all said faith. When you think aobut all the suffering that Job went through, he had to have faith or he never would have made it.
