The Contents of the Half Full Glass

"My optimism," Ronald Reagan observed, "comes not just from my strong faith in God but from my strong and enduring faith in man."

This was in 1991, years after he had been shot.

Statement of Faith

My personal impression of God is the creator of life and the universe, not only as we understand it, but also as we don't understand it. That means that faith for me includes believing that things will be good even if I don't understand how. And as a personal journey, my life is so rich that even its lowest moments demand little true sacrifice, far less than those who have died for my freedom.

So although tomorrow is cloudy, there's no reason to fear. God understands what I do not, and sees what I do not. And together we'll pass safely to the other side.
