We sat around sipping our bitter coffee and discussing the
two people we knew and admired that were not playing with a full deck. We decided that it wasn’t a bad
thing. They seemed to be oblivious
to the worldly worries and troubles that I harbor in my head. They have gumption…the gumption that I
lack…the gumption to get up each day and face the world, the gumption to do the
right thing. It’s OK to be
different especially in a world steeped in relativism.
We concluded it wasn’t necessary to have all the cards as
long as you have the right ones. A
winner needs only enough for a flush or a full house…sometimes only a pair.
Faith trumps gumption but without gumption faith is not
faith.
Lord Jesus, I pray for the gumption to put my faith into
action.
Amen.
