Faith Venture

The city built a beautiful bike path along the old canal feeder.  With paved pathways, mileage markers, historical information signs, picnic tables at lookout spots and split rail fencing along the steeper sides, it is a wonderful place to stroll or pedal through the woods. Today was my first venture onto the path although it has been open almost all summer.

You see the problem is this big hill which falls away from the paved path off my street.  It is rather steep, usually muddy and not yet paved.  They will be finishing it with the 2009-10 budgets. Actually, that is a really poor excuse, but doesn’t it seem so typical.  I want to go get some exercise and enjoy nature, but I might get my feet dirty or exert myself a bit climbing back home.

I think this is like our spiritual journey. Any old inconvenience or excuse and we lose interest and turn away.  In most causes for me, it starts with doubting. Yet, how much we miss!

The only limits to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.  Let us move forward with a strong and active faith. — Franklin D. Roosevelt
