"Do you have faith?"

In my line of work I have opportunity to get into lengthy discussions with people. During my brief career I have gotten caught up in all kinds of talk. I have heard life stories, family secrets and even some frightening confessions. Yet, yesterday's conversation was a new one for me. I was working with this 22 year old college football player. He was big, really big. He was also one of these guys who kind of looked like he had been hit in the head one too many times. As I was working with him in complete silence, out of his mouth pops this questions - "Jordan, do you have faith?"

Wow, where did that come from? "What do you mean, do I have faith? Of course I have faith?" He then said, "Well who do you have faith in?"

This not only began an interesting conversation but also has made me look within myself. I was awake much of the night asking myself the question, "Jordan, do you have faith?" Not my dad's faith, or mom's faith but Jordan's faith. Now that I am on my own and out of "daddy's house" I can only rely on my personal faith. Just food for thought as we begin this day dedicated to our God. Have a blessed day of faith.
