All of my friends know my obsession with Mike Yaconelli. He was a wonderful writer, teacher, speaker taken from us far before any of us were ready to see him go.
Today I'm leaning on my favorite quote from him because of the situation we're going through right now...
I am beginning to understand that faith is not the way around pain, it is the way through pain. Faith doesn't get rid of the opposition, it invites it over for dinner. Faith doesn't give you the winning point at the last second, it ties the game and sends you into overtime. Faith doesn't give you the solution, it forces you to find it.
- Mike Yaconelli
Please pray for our family as we try to keep the faith while going through this pain.
peace and grace,
Bill
