COVERING BEAUFORT COUNTY

Hollings was mentor to Beaufort mayor

By Mike McCombs When former U.S. senator and South Carolina governor Ernest “Fritz” Hollings died at the age of 97 on Saturday, April 6, people around the state remembered the giant of Palmetto State politics and his achievements.

But for one Beaufort politician, Hollings’ influence was much more personal.

From the summer of 1970 through 1984, Beaufort mayor Billy Keyserling said Hollings was his “home base.”

Keyserling started off as a summer intern, and Hollings

immediately took a liking to him.

“He probably thought I was a little different beErnest cause I’d been Hollings to school in the north and I was a little different than everyone around him,” Keyserling said. “He liked diversity.”

Over the next 14 years, Keyserling wore many hats for Hollings.

“College intern, legislative assistant, committee staff,

special projects assistant in Washington and S.C., onetime sailing instructor, campaign manager and friend,” Keyserling said in a release.

“Over a period of 14 years, my life was all about Fritz Hollings. My reward was a mentor for life.”

Keyserling’s first summer with Hollings was a big summer in relation to the Vietnam War. His first job was to read all Hollings’ Vietnam mail and tell the Senator what it said at the end of the day.

Eventually, Keyserling found himself as Hollings’

campaign manager early in the 1984 presidential race.

“I was the reason he lost, and he was the reason I didn’t run a winning campaign,” Keyserling joked. “Neither of us were prepared for that kind of campaign.”

Keyserling said Hollings was a lot more strategic and thoughtful and intellectual than most people thought he was. He was extremely pragmatic.

“He really looked like such a senator. The way he dressed, the way he carried himself,” Keyserling said.

“The way he talked with the thick Charleston accent, if you could understand him, a lot of people never knew how deep he was. He was a deep thinker.”

Hollings became frustrated late in his career in the U.S. Senate as the “gentleman’s club” began to crumble, Keyserling said.

There was a loss of civility, bipartisanship, even listening. The quality of the conversation had dwindled.

Keyserling said he sug-

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER NAO Santa Maria makes landfall in Beaufort after delays

By Bob Sofaly After a week of unexpected delays, mostly because of bad weather, hundreds of people gathered at the seawall of the Henry C. Chambers Wa-

terfront Park in downtown Beaufort to watch the 200-ton Nao Santa Maria arrive.

The ship, a replica of one of Christopher Columbus’ famous vessels, is part of the

525th anniversary celebration of the famous voyage in 1492 when Columbus claimed North America for Spain.

The ship is open to the public. Visitors can take a

self-guided tour of the ship’s four decks. Tickets are $10 for ages 11 and older, $5 for ages 5 to 10 and $25 for a family of two adults and up to three children. Admission

Protesters push for release of Mueller report

By Mike McCombs About 50 Beaufort County citizens on Thursday, April 4, gathered in front of U.S. Congressman Joe Cunningham’s office on Boundary Street to protest the failure of the Trump Administration to release the details of Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Chanting things like “we want it and we want it now,” “release the report,” “no one’s above the law” and “Mueller time is now,” pro-

testers from several different local activist groups held up homemade signs and made their voices heard as motorists acknowledged the rally with honking horns and words of encouragement.

The event was put together by Lowcountry Indivisible and Indivisible Beaufort, two non-partisan political action groups.

“What we know is that this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Lowcountry Indivisible chairman Mitch Siegel said. “We have thousands of concerned citizens across

the state writing letters to S.C. members of Congress, urging them to release the report. We’re happy the folks here took the time to come out on such short notice and late in the day to draw attention to this important issue.

“They represent the very best of democracy in action.”

Though the protest took place in front of Cunningham’s office, he is hardly an adversary in this case.

Cunningham has already issued a statement in sup-

gested Hollings entertain the notion of a seat on the Supreme Court, a position he had once discussed with President Richard Nixon.

Hollings did not think he would reach the court. But really, he preferred the Senate, anyway.

“He liked the adversarial proceedings. He liked to take ideas and wrestle them and debate them and argue them and try to win people to his side,” Keyserling said. “(There was) no higher level of adversarial relationship (than the Senate) and no higher honor than to have the people of S.C. as his clients.”

and honesty with yourself.

“You fight for what’s right,” Keyserling said. “Whether you think you can win or lose, you fight the best fight. He took on many fights where he stood no chance to win.”

After his career was over, Hollings showed some of that integrity when he did something quite uncommon in Washington, D.C. While most politicians relish the opportunity to have a building named after them, he was fighting to have his name taken off of one.

“It was the single most important event to me and the most proud that I ever was that I worked for him,” Keyserling said.

The new courthouse in Charleston was named for Hollings as he helped get the money appropriated to build it.

In 2015, Hollings called Senator Lindsay Graham and S.C. Congress-

man James Clyburn and asked them to do him a favor – help him get the building renamed for J. Waties Waring, the judge who orchestrated the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling that desegregated public schools.

“I paid for it but Judge Waring earned it,” Hollings said. “His name ought to be on the building, not mine.”

According to Keyserling, Graham actually thought Hollings was drunk. Nonetheless, Hollings got what he wanted.

“That probably was one of the most telling moments about the integrity he had,” Keyserling said. “He gave up a trophy to someone that he really believed deserved that trophy more than he did.”

As Hollings removed himself from public life, Keyserling wrote him a letter around Thanksgiving

of 2018 to thank him for all he had done for him.

This is how Keyserling closed the letter: “My mantra in public service has been to speak from the heart, tell the truth and own mistakes. And I attribute my many successes and my strong moral compass to lessons learned from you.

Your legacy will always be part of me and the decisions I make as a public servant and afterward. And I know this to be the case for many of the Hollings Alumni from your years of service.

I want to thank you for your friendship and support over the almost half century.

With the utmost respect, appreciation and love for Fritz Hollings, the man and his legacy, I am Sincerely.

The finalists will undergo indepth background reviews by inde-

Those reviews will include academic credentials, personal credit reports, criminal and civil histories, and a news media and social media review.

The board’s goal is to announce its selection on April 16 and have the new superintendent begin work on July 1 to replace interim superintendent Herb Berg.

statement reads. “However, after almost two years and nearly $30 million in taxpayer money spent on this investigation, the American people deserve to know what is in the report for themselves and not just a four-page summary.”

Quoting polls that say that nearly three-fourths of Americans support making the report public and the fact the House of Representatives

voted 420-0 to release it, Siegel wants to know what the delay is.

“It breeds suspicion of a cover-up,” he said. “The only way to know what’s true is for Attorney General Barr to release the unredacted report now to Congress.

And for Congress to make the report public.”

For Carolyn Brooks of Seabrook, the rally was bigger than just the

Mueller report, and the reason is simple.

“It’s Trump,” Brooks said. “The lies. The deceit. Taking programs away from the people that need them. We need people that care about our country. If something doesn’t work, you fix it. That’s how I was brought up. You don’t throw something away because it doesn’t work. You fix it.”

HEALTH

National Health Care Decisions Day is April 16

Recognizing the importance of advance care planning

By Jennifer Massey, LMSW, ACHP-SW Aging. We feel it with every ache and pain. We see it in the mirror with every laugh line and wrinkle. We notice it when our friends are swapping doctor referrals for arthritis and knee replacements.

We start planning for it when we are young with retirement accounts, life insurance and maybe even a will.

While we talk about the physical changes, we often ignore their meaning. We avoid it because it’s morbid, scary or perhaps will even jinx us.

Then a crisis occurs and no one knows what to do.

April 16 is National Healthcare Decisions Day – an ap-

propriate time to take the steps necessary to assure that your healthcare wishes are known and fulfilled as you age.

Getting Started Start by asking yourself: • What is quality of life and what healthcare decisions support that?

• What goals are important if your condition worsens?

• What fears and worries do you have about your future?

• What abilities are critical and how much are you willing to go through to maintain them?

• How much does your family know about these answers?

If, because of injury or illness, you can’t make important healthcare decisions, your family will need to speak on your behalf. Who will the doctor ask? It’s time to have a conversation, telling your family the decisions you’ve made. If you are unsure how to start, ask your doctor or social worker to help arrange a family meeting or go to www. begintheconversation.org for ideas.

Put it in writing Complete an advance directive, a written document outlining your healthcare decisions if you become ter-

minally ill or have a serious illness and can’t speak for yourself. Completing one is simple. Download the document or ask your healthcare provider for a copy. Fill in the blanks and sign it. You will need a couple of witnesses and maybe a notary, but an attorney is not necessary.

You can be specific, or simply name someone to make decisions for you.

In South Carolina, advance directives include: • South Carolina Health Care Power of Attorney • Five Wishes • Declaration of a Desire for a Natural Death You can find more information and comparisons at

70 Honey Horn Drive, Hilton Head Island, SC 29926

www.mylifemychoices.org and download the forms from there. Forms are also available at www.BeaufortMemorial.org.

Spread the word After you have completed the appropriate form, give copies to your doctors, healthcare facility, and the person you have designated as your healthcare power of attorney.

Keep the original in a safe but easily accessible place.

Review your wishes periodically. Our goals, and therefore healthcare decisions, may change as we age. Review your decisions as often as once a year, but it is imperative you review them in case of divorce, diagnosis, decline or death of your chosen agent.

Whoever has copies will need to be updated if you make changes.

When we receive a diagnosis of a serious illness or have an accident, it feels like our healthcare is out of our control. Take back some control. Don’t put the burden on your family to guess what you want. Prepare in advance, educate your family, document your wishes and empower your family to act confidently on your behalf if they should ever need to.

FOOD

Habersham getting a saucy new barbecue joint

By Ron Callari For Beaufortonians, the opening of a new eatery will give "getting sauced" a whole new meaning.

On Tuesday, April 16, Skeeter's Southern BBQ will be taking up residence in Habersham at 17 Market – the address of the old Maggie’s – providing diners with a tasty new option.

Pitmaster Jonathan Brinsfield, a caterer by trade, and his wife, Jesse, are the operators of the eatery.

Brinsfield said he chose to add a brick-and-mortar store to his food and beverage resume after customers encouraged him to take the leap.

His distinct sauces put Brinsfield on the map in Savannah, Ga., where he operated a popular catering operation. The Brinsfields’ food truck remains in regular

demand for festivals, celebrations and milestone events.

On St. Patrick’s Day alone, Skeeter’s served more than 3000 customers on River Street in downtown Savannah.

The truck was also featured at this year’s Beaufort Twilight Run. Selecting Beaufort was a no-brainer for Brinsfield, who lived in Beaufort previously.

And he feels like he’s filling a void in town.

“Skeeter’s will be offering the quality of barbecue that is typically found in Charleston and larger markets,” he said.

The meat at Skeeter’s will be smoked on site, and the restaurant’s offerings will feature pulled pork and chicken, Texas-style brisket and St. Louis-style ribs with three eclectic BBQ sauces, which Brinsfield also sells by the bottle, to choose from.

“Midnight on Bourbon Street” is tomato-based, made with a craft bourbon and creates a well-rounded sauce for chicken, pork or beef. “Gold in a Bottle” is mustard-based with spices and local honey to give it a sweet finish, perfect for chicken and pork. “Wicked Bee” is a blend of honey and habanero.

These sauces, along with Brinsfield’s Pork N’ Rub and Kluck N’ Rub are all for sale for diners to take home.

Brinsfield is in the process of reconfiguring the old Maggie’s to accommodate more diners. With his smoker operating outside, he will be able to comfortably serve 25 folks on the patio and 60 indoors, inclusive of bar seating.

Skeeter’s Southern BBQ will serve dinner Tuesday through Sunday, with lunch soon to follow.

Jonathan Brinsfield is bringing his barbecue sauces to Habersham, where he is opening Skeeter’s Southern BBQ in the location where Maggie’s once resided.

WINE & DINE

Discovering wines is like tracking family

By Celia Strong An interesting thing about wine grapes is many of them are related to others.

Like Sauvignon Blanc is one of the parents of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Like Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc and Pinot Grigio are all cousins.

Most of these wines we drink on a regular basis without giving the familial connections any thought. Once in a while, though, the heritage of a Celia grape has to Strong be discovered and discussed so we can learn its wines and enjoy them.

Pinotage is a not so wellknown and not often drunk wines. But it should be. At least more than it is.

Pinotage is a variety unique to South Africa, a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsaut, a Rhône red grape.

In 1925, in South Africa, Abraham Perold realized Pinot Noir had a particularly hard time growing in the climate there. In an effort to be able to make wines as delicious as Pinot Noir, he decided to cross Pinot with Cinsaut, a very productive and easy-to-grow vine.

So where did the name Pinotage come from? Well, in 1925, Cinsaut was called Hermitage. The result of this crossing produced a very dark-skinned grape and, hence, dark wines. They have bold tannins and lots of anthocyanins, totally not like

... Pinotage wines are very well suited for lots of styles of food. They are all medium to medium-full-bodied wines, with good fruitiness and tannins.

Pinot Noir. It is the second most planted variety in South Africa now.

Pinotage flavors include most black fruits, black raspberries, blackberries, plums, sweet pipe tobacco, tar, licorice, bacon, sweet and sour sauce, smoke, red pepper and hoisin. With judicious pruning in the vineyards, red fruits like raspberries, cherries, currants come too.

Backsberg, for $12.99, includes about 10 percent Grenache, Shiraz and Zinfandel in it. Because of the grapes’ thick skins, the wine’s color is extracted in the first, few, early days of fermentation. It is aged in wood for about a year.

This Pinotage has ripe cherry, strawberry, coffee bean and dried herb aromas and flavors. All with a great, juicy texture. It can age for five to seven years.

Hill & Dale Pinotage, for $9.99, is a medium-full body wine, with red cherries, plums, prunes, baking spices, earthy nuts, white pepper and hints of mint. Minimal skin contact in the winemaking, stainless steel fermenting with selected yeast strains and aging in assorted types of oak barrels make this a cleaner style Pinotage.

Nederburg Pinotage age, for $10.99, is full of plum,

prune and spicy oak. Rich fruits and intense, sweet tannins with vanilla overtones.

It is 100% Pinotage. These grapes are hand picked and cold fermented in stainless steel tanks for about two weeks. The wine is elegant and has a full-mouth feel and a juicy texture.

Stellar Pinotage, for $10.99, is made from organically grown grapes. The wine is garnet colored with roasted nut, stone fruits and berry tart aromas and flavors. It has a medium body with a long, rich finish.

Tormentoso Pinotage, our last new wine, for $13.99, is 100 percent this variety. Its typical aromas and flavors include cherries, plums, and berries mixed with smoky notes, baking spices and vanilla. These grapes come from low yielding, 20-yearold vines. Some of these vines are dry farmed, which produces small berries along with intense flavors and color.

As a rule, Pinotage wines are very well suited for lots of styles of food. They are all medium to medium-full-bodied wines, with good fruitiness and tannins. And, they are all well priced.

Beaufort High has kept alive its hopes of a Region 7-4A title with four consecutive wins, but the Eagles still need two more victories to claim the region crown.

Beaufort (6-8, 5-2 Region 7-4A) swept a three-game series from Hilton Head High last week, following up a 13-1 win in the opener with consecutive 16-4 victories. The Eagles kept the hot streak rolling with a 4-3 home win over Colleton County on Monday, but they must sweep the three-game series from the Cougars (9-3, 6-1) to

win the region title.

An 11-run second inning propelled Beaufort to a 16-4 win over Hilton Head High in the second game of the series. Lillian Bearden went 2-for-3 with two homers, three runs, and four RBIs to lead the offensive outburst for the Eagles, while Madison Sanchez had a double and three RBIs, and Natalie Morrow drove in two runs.

Maliyah Hagan picked up the win, striking out two and allowing four unearned runs and three hits over five innings.

Emily Crosby was 2-for-2 with a double, two runs, and three RBIs, McKenzie Young was 2-for3 with two runs and two RBIs, and Journeigh Doray added an RBI double for the Dolphins.

Trask leads BA past JPII

Ben Trask scored two goals as Beaufort Academy’s boys held on for a 2-1 win over John Paul II in a game ended early because of lightning Monday.

The Eagles led 1-0 at halftime on Trask’s first goal, but JPII’s Noah Brock scored on an assist from Marcello Vera midway through the second half to pull the Golden Warriors even.

Trask answered with his second a few minutes later, though, and play was stopped with 11 minutes remaining due to lightning.

BA (9-1) looked to stay undefeated in region play when it hosted Palmetto Christian on Tuesday.

The Eagles jumped out to an early lead with a four-run second inning and added to the lead in each of the next three frames.

Jeffrey Smyth was 2-for-4 with a double and two RBIs, Brendan Bowersox was 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI, and Jacob Anderson was 2-for-3 with a double to lead Beaufort’s offense.

How do you like your eggs?

If you answered plastic and dropped from a helicopter, you’re going to want to be at Beaufort Academy on Saturday for the second annual Great Helicopter Easter Egg Drop.

The event, hosted by Beaufort Academy and ServPro of Beaufort, is open to the first 1,500 pre-registered children, ages 2-10, and will feature four age-specific egg hunts consisting of more than 15,000 plastic eggs.

Golden eggs will be mixed among the eggs dropped and will feature prizes such as free tuition to Beaufort Academy, a Nintendo Switch video game, tickets to Walt Disney World and assorted gift certificates.

If the kids are too old for the egg hunts, the fun doesn’t stop there. There will also be a bounce house area, balloon artists, face painters, KONA Ice, Motor City Pops, Crave Cup-

A change from the inaugural Egg Drop – this year there will be a $10 charge for each child participating in the hunts. There is free admission for adults and children older than 10, though a $10 activity wristband is required for children who want to participate in the other activities.

Parents will not be allowed on the field with children this year and are are encouraged not to register children if they cannot go on the field on their own. Student volunteers will help the children get eggs in their bag and will ensure the children stay safe.

Controversy coming over downtown bridge

By Bill Rauch The first step of what is sure to be a long and controversial series of showdowns that will finally lead to the replacement of Beaufort’s Woods Memorial Bridge will be taken next week when Rep. Shannon Erickson introduces into Bill the South CarRauch olina House of Representatives a resolution commemorating the iconic bridge’s 60th Anniversary.

Why is that significant?

Because, according to the South Carolina Department of Transportation’s (SCDOT’s) spokesman Pete Poore, “Sixty is when we be-

gin to consider bridges obsolete.”

Rep. Erickson’s Resolution will have the effect of drawing attention to the bridge’s coming obsolescence and that, as County Council vice chairman Paul Sommerville says, “The Woods Bridge is a problem that’s awaiting a solution.”

What exactly is the problem?

The landmark bridge’s replacement is controversial already — and has been for years — because the SCDOT’s policy is to do away with swing bridges and drawbridges in favor of fixed span bridges.

But in the case of the Beaufort River crossing of US 21 Business a fixed span bridge would begin its elevation on

the Port Royal Island side at about The Carteret Street United Methodist Church and by the time it reaches Bay Street three blocks down it would be about 50 feet in the air, according to a late 1990’s Army Corps of Engineers Study of the problem.

It gets worse.

Then, right about Bay Street, according to the study, the approach to the bridge turns to the right and, as it continues to climb, passes over the present Waterfront Park playground and in front of a significant portion of the Waterfront Park before turning left to cross the Intracoastal Waterway at 65’ of elevation before making its descent onto Lady’s island, finally reaching grade again

around the Lady’s island boat landing.

Imagining this man-made mountain downtown, the many defenders of Beaufort’s historic district — which is effectively the whole town’s power structure — have and will continue to argue to the death that the shadow a new fixed span bridge would cast across the heart of Beaufort’s lifeblood historic district would be deleterious, perhaps even fatal, to the district’s future.

Thus the stalemate.

So what is the solution?

Since no one at the SCDOT will speak on the record, here’s my interpretation.

Florida’s experience is that drawbridges have been found to be more reliable than swing

Storytelling not simple as it seems

By Scott Graber When I was 17, it was decided that I would leave my family — then living in Germany — and move to Florence, S.C. My grandmother lived in Florence, and it was thought that living with her for my last year in high school would reduce the tension that had developed between me and my father.

When I arrived in Florence, I was not, like my friend Pat Conroy, an athlete. (I had previously been a competitive swimmer, but Florence had, some years earlier, closed its swimming pool in order to avoid integrating that facility.)

Nor was I a scholar. Nor did I have the requisite ‘57 Ford (or Chevrolet) or any interest in “Fireball” Roberts, Cale Yarborough or NASCAR. McClenaghan High School would be the third and final chapter of an uneven, unre-

markable high school experience.

Though not distinguished, I was different — different in Scott one respect. I Graber had traveled in Spain, France, Italy and Austria. I had seen the Costa Brava before the arrival of condominiums. I had driven on the Nurburgring the day before the Grand Prix.

I had been to East Germany when it was a cold, hostile, communist place. And I could describe where I had been and what I had seen.

And so I learned to tell stories about where I had been.

It was an obvious effort to fit in, to be a part of a small town where I was late to the dance, very late to the dance.

And so, in time, I also learned that it helped if the

story one told was funny. It helped especially when one was talking to girls.

Storytelling became part of my way of communication — my talking. In those days I had a finite number of stories — I was only 17 for God’s sake — and learned that one could fail if one was not careful.

So, this morning, I was stunned to see a piece in the Wall Street Journal titled, “Please Stop Telling That Same Story.”

The WSJ begins by telling us about pitfalls and tarpits to be avoided. “… the bonding benefits of storytelling only work if you’re good at it. Many of us, even those who tell stories for a living, are not. We repeat stories we’ve told before.

We tell tales that don’t have a point. We fail to pay attention to our audience, choosing stories that are inappropriate

or ignoring clues that our listeners are bored.”

And we’ve all been at dinner parties when a story — a story with no connection to the conversation under way — comes forth unbidden. If this story is one we’ve heard before then we move from borderline annoyance to full-throttle anger. But usually we sit and listen. We say to ourselves, ‘This friendship is important, too important to get up and walk out of the room’. And so we stay, usually we smolder and go silent, wondering ‘is this friendship is truly worth this worn out, self- aggrandizing tale.”

The WSJ goes on to say that a good story will energize the room. But there have to be fleshed-out characters; tension and, most importantly a reason one is telling this particular story at this particular moment.

span bridges, and there are many drawbridges in Florida that motorists use at all times of the day and night to cross the Intracoastal Waterway.

Our action plan should in my view be to muster the political power in Columbia to pass local legislation that would have the effect of compelling SCDOT in this special circumstance to make an exception to their no drawbridge policy, and to build a new drawbridge on roughly the alignment of the old 1927 swing span bridge. Furthermore, as to design, we should honor the Woods Bridge by reproducing as closely as possible it’s gentle, classic lines and elevations.

My friend Frank Glover, with whom I served for a doz-

en or so years on the Beaufort City Council and who was the SCDOT’s (then Highway Department’s) District Engineer for Beaufort for many years before that, estimates it will take 10-plus years to fund, permit and build a new bridge once its plans are agreed upon. So there’s not a lot of time to spare here.

The new turn lanes and traffic management improvements on Lady’s island that will begin to be constructed next week are helpful, but they are like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic if the Woods Bridge goes down before an appropriate successor is in place.

Bill Rauch was the mayor of Beaufort from 1999-2008. Email Bill at TheRauchReport@gmail.com.

I myself have learned that a story works best if it is funny, self-disclosing and self-deprecating. And the Journal tells us if we check these boxes, the listener’s brain secretes dopamine, which focuses our attention, and oxytocin, which helps us connect.

“This produces a state called immersion, in which the listener is both absorbed in a story and willing to be persuaded,” says Paul Zak, a professor at Claremont Graduate University in California.

But then there is that moment when one looks around the table and spots that vacant-eyed, pursed-lipped look that screams, “You’ve told this one before, Scott. Many, many times before.”

This is confirmed when you see your best friend’s wife looking out the window and silently mouthing the

same words you are speaking.

And yes, this is the dilemma that some of us, in our old age, face on a regular basis.

We’ve just run out of material, out of content. Our portfolio is empty.

The Wall Street Journal deals with the lack-of-newcontent conundrum headon, “If you’re telling a story you’ve told before own up to it. New research shows that people who repeat stories are viewed as less genuine or authentic—unless they acknowledge their repetition.”

And so we say words like, “I know you’ve heard this ‘chestnut’ before. But its essential—for my evaporating, increasingly fragile self-esteem — that we go round this track on more time, ...”

Reasons for Faith

A Leap of Faith Choosing to Believe in God

Would you jump from a plane without a parachute?

If you are in a plane high in the sky, it would be crazy to jump out without a parachute. Even if you were convinced that this was a good idea, such an action would fly in the face of all available logic.

There would be no reason to expect to survive.

This is how many people imagine faith.

Religious faith is commonly misunderstood today to be merely a feeling or a preference, something that has nothing to do with reason or evidence. In such a case, belief in God would require a blind leap of faith, as apparently irrational as jumping out of a plane without a parachute.

What if you had a good parachute?

Suppose you are standing in the plane with a working parachute. It is engineered for a person of your size and weight, and you have been trained in its use. Knowing all of these things, jumping can be seen as a reasonable course of action. You have every reason to expect that, should you jump, you will land safely. But even with all of this evidence, at some point you still have to make the choice: will you jump?

Faith and reason are meant to go together.

In the traditional Christian understanding, faith and reason are meant to support one another. We use our intellect to look at the evidence, and this can open our hearts to help us receive the gift of faith. We can see that faith in God is actually quite reasonable, not contrary to common sense or science at all. But at some point, we still have to choose to make the leap of faith. We have to choose to believe in God and begin a new life with him.

Why not ask God for the gift of faith?

We cannot make the leap of faith on our own power; faith is a gift we receive from God. If you are unsure whether God exists, why not ask him to reveal himself to you? You can pray a simple prayer, such as, “God, I don’t know if you are real, but if you are, please help me to know you.” Even though you will probably not experience a miraculous sign or a voice from heaven, God will gradually reveal himself to those who seek him. If he does not exist, you lose nothing, but if he does exist, you gain a treasure beyond price.

There are good reasons for faith in God. In this series of faith messages, we have been exploring some of the reasons for faith in God. Persuasive arguments can be made from observations of the universe, such as its existence from nothing and its apparent fine-tuning. Important evidence can also be found in human nature, such as the laws of morality and the yearning we experience for something beyond this world. These clues each have their limits, but taken as a group they have a cumulative effect and carry weight.

Cindy had worked in the public-school system for years and had the organizational skills needed to get the group where we needed to be.

She had addresses, the map, and the tickets.

I’m not sure if she ordered the weather too, but it was a perfect day to walk around Savannah.

The 17 women all chatted with one another, and there was no sense of favoritism with the leader.

At no time did she tell us to be silent and line up alphabetically. She also incorporated bathroom breaks into the day, one of which included walking through a beautiful park that had clean bathrooms and clean water fountains.

And finally, although Cindy did have on sneakers, she was not wearing a nun’s habit.
