Faith can be stirred within the walls of church buildings, but faith is formed and nourished in the waiting rooms of hospitals, helplessly witnessing a thirty-one-year-old sister suffer, holding kids affected by the AIDS epidemic, and being stretched outside of our own social makeup.

Maybe the reason faith is called faith is because seeing doesn't lead to belief, but belief transforms the way we see.

Quite honestly, there are days when I don't need a God who will deliver me from the pit, just a God who will get down in a pit with me.
