My loss of faith if ever is really due to fear-fear that I don't deserve what I am trying to accomplish or want. I will add you on my prayer list, your write up is awe inspiring!! Thank you!

There are many "gifts" available to us such as faith, salvation, love... that we have the opportunity to choose whether we want to receive them or not. The surrender part of it is important as you said, but oh, so difficult at times. Thanks for your perspective on faith. It helps me understand my personal faith. Thoughts and prayers are with you, Mary Beth, and your family. Alex,

Getting involved is one of those rewarding and fulfilling acts that some people tend to do as an after thought. To me, its one of the best ways to build your faith. Nice job Alex.
