While faith in God makes everything worth it, it doesn't make everything easy. In fact, the faith journey is a usually a long, unpaved winding road.
As I continue my journey struggle through Isaiah, this morning's reading brought to mind the question of faith, and how the Israelites had such a hard time doing what God told them to do.

What My First Platoon Sergeant Taught Me About Military Service
There are three people who, more than anyone else, influenced my life and helped make me a success: my parents and my first platoon sergeant when I was a second lieutenant fresh out of West Point.

The Fear of Death and the Futile Quest for Immortality Without Faith
Since the dawn of time, humans have feared death. The thought of our inevitable end drives many to seek ways to extend life or even achieve immortality. For centuries, alchemists searched for the elusive "elixir of life," while today’s scientists pursue anti-aging research and transhumanist dreams.
