By Faith

“No, a glimpse is not a vision. But to a man on a mountain road by night, a glimpse of the next three feet of road may matter more than a vision of the horizon.” C. S. Lewis, in a letter to Sheldon Vanauken.

Bruce and I, like most of the nation, are not financially prepared for retirement. I would like to say that we have given so much of ourselves and our goods to others that we have not saved for our own future. To a certain extent this is true, but the main reason we have reached this pass is a combination of poor stewardship and acquisitiveness. I pray the next portion of our lives does not bring all of our misdeeds home to rest. I pray God sees fit to continue to bless us in spite of our poor judgment.

II Corinthians 5:7 – “We live by faith and not by sight.”
