December 24, 2017, 0700, Isle of Palms, SC. (37 F.) Sunrise in 17 minutes, slack tide. Pondering.
We know certainly that our God calls us to a holy life. We know that He gives us every grace, every abundant grace; and though we are so weak of ourselves, this grace is able to carry us through every obstacle and difficulty.
And certainly (hopefully) in addition to grace, God remains patient when one’s faith, once strong and vibrant, withers in the Fall and again becomes but a dry mustard seed.
Mitigating Chaos 
Amen…..sometimes in those desert spaces, when faith is weak you just hang on to trust in God’s grace and I guess that, in itself, is an act of faith.Merry Christmas to you and yours Ray.
