This week we will reflect on the topic of doubt.  Like the father in Mark 9, most of us are a mixture of faith and doubt.  Sometimes your heart believes, but your mind is still catching up.  Sometimes what once seemed like a solid foundation starts to feel like shaky ground.  We like it when our statements of faith have a period at the end, or even an exclamation point, but sometimes there is a question mark hanging there.

Know that you are not alone in your doubt.  The Bible is full of faith heroes who had questions about their faith - folks like Abraham and Sarah, Moses, Gideon, Mary, John the Baptist, Peter, and Thomas.  They all learned that God can do impressive things with doubting faith.
