There are moments in life that suck all faith out of us—little fragments of time when meaning is a swirling lunatic hurling demoralizing words that taunt and jab at us. In those hard places where faith smacks up against reality our hope can wane, our faith challenged. This essay takes the lyrics of Bob Dylan's "Every Grain Of Sand", and builds a case for putting faith into action even when it seems that all is lost. It is an inspirational and encouraging read.

In the book of Ephesians, we are told to be imitators of God, but how can that be? God is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, so how is it possible for us to imitate him?

This essay digs a wee-bit deeper and offers ideas for practical application. It is an interesting, challenging, inspirational read.
