As many of you know, I spent last week in Amish farm country near Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania. I was inspired by their faith and faithfulness. The Amish, being the practical folks that they are, had a ready response to my impulse to want to emmulate their faith:
The Amish Challenge
If you admire our faith, strengthen yours.
If you admire our sense of commitment, deepen yours.
If you admire our community spirit, build your own.
If you admire our simple life, cut back.
If you admire deep character and enduring values, live them yourself.
On this feast of All Saints, my you feel inspired as you walk your own road to sainthood.
Blessings,
