Greetings Dear Reader,
My mind has already turned to what will be a very different
Holy Week this year. Before I begin that
series, I want to address the underpinning thing that makes it all
possible. I have written often about
faith. I suppose I want to be a little
practical about how we can actually use faith in a time where things seem so
out of control.
I want to call to mind that we all believe in something. We all have faith in an ideal, a thing, or a
person. As someone who has chosen to
follow Jesus Christ, I put my faith in him, the Father, and the Holy Spirit. I do my best to live out that faith and when
I fail to, I count on the grace and mercy promised by the Father.
I am not going much deeper down that path but I want to be
clear about where I am coming from as I begin these few days of practical faith
concerns. We can say that we do not do
anything that requires faith. We
do. We eat food that we have not prepared. We drive on the road next to others at high speeds. We sit on chairs without testing them
first. We exercise faith every day.
What I wish to do to prepare my heart and mind for Holy Week
is to examine some practical ways to use my faith.
I wish to be very simple and clear that faith must be a part of every
aspect of what we do. There are no
issues or incidents that are outside of our faith.
Please journey with me through a few days of practical faith
application so that we can better prepare for the challenges ahead. If you do not share my faith, Dear Reader,
you will at least learn how those who claim to follow Christ should act. We are
all crooked sticks, so please do not judge us too harshly. As always, your thoughts and questions are
welcome. You make the journey sweeter.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
