The Journey is the destination

Sometimes the problem is not a problem to be solved but a trial to be endured. Even the most bitter trial on earth is guaranteed to eventually end. God will either take the trial from you or take you away from this life.
 
Either way, you win....IF you persevere.
 
The journey is the destination, and victory is yours if you are faithful, obedient, humble and charitable.
 
HARD TO GET by the late, great Rich Mullins
 
You who live in heavenHear the prayers of those of us who live on earth?Who are afraid of being left by those we loveWho get hardened in the hurtDo you remember when You lived down here?Where we all scrapeTo find the faith to ask the daily breadDid You forget about usAfter You had flown away?Well, I memorized every word You said
Still I'm so scared, I'm holding my breathWhile You're up there just playing hard to get
You who live in radianceHear the prayers of those of us who live in skin?We have a love that's not as patient as Yours wasBut still we do love now and thenDid You ever know loneliness?You ever know need?You remember just how long a night can get?When You are barely holdin' on
And Your friends fall asleepWho don't see the blood that's runnin' in Your sweat
Will those who mourn be left uncomfortedWhile You're up there just playin' hard to get?
And I know You bore our sorrowsAnd I know You feel our painAnd I know that it would not hurt any lessEven if it could be explainedAnd I know that I am only lashing outAt the One who loves me mostAnd after I have figured this, somehowWhat I really need to know...
Is if You who live in eternityHear the prayers of those of us who live in time?We can't see what's aheadAnd we cannot get free from what we've left behindI'm reeling from these voices that keep screamin' in my earsAll these words of shame and doubt, blame and regretI can't see how You're leading meUnless You've led me hereTo where I'm lost enough to let myself be led
And so You've been here all along, I guessIt's just Your ways and You are just plain hard to get

Faith Meets Science: The Story of Blessed Nicholas Steno

Join us as we explore how "Faith Meets Science" in this inspiring discussion with author Thomas Salerno! In this episode, we discuss his new children's book, *The Riddle of the Tongue Stones*, which tells the fascinating story of Blessed Nicholas Steno—an influential Catholic convert and pioneering scientist. Discover how Steno's groundbreaking work in geology and paleontology laid the foundations for modern science while showcasing that faith and reason can beautifully coexist. Thomas shares his journey as a writer, the inspiration behind the book, and how it highlights Steno's legacy for young readers. This heartfelt conversation is perfect for anyone passionate about theology, history, or science. I highly recommend checking out Thomas's work for a fresh perspective on the harmony between faith and science.
