On Sunday mornings I normally head out for church at 7:00 a.m.. My usual route takes me up Trade Street toward Greater Downtown Tryon where just before I turn left at Side Street Pizza onto McCowan Street I can see Tryon Peak rising above the business district skyline. However, one recent Sunday morning the entire mountain was completely encased in a bank of grey clouds tinged red by the early morning sun. There was no mountain, no Tryon Peak to be seen. The question came to mind, “If I cannot see it, is it really still there?”

That is often the fundamental question of faith. “If I cannot see, feel or hear God directly and personally, is God still there?”

In the Gospels Jesus talks about faith as something arising from within a person that reaches out for the holy even when the circumstances make faith illogical or problematic. A woman hopefully touches the hem of his robe and she is cured. A paralytic is lowered by friends through the roof to be healed, but it is the faith of the friends and not the paralytic which brings about a cure. Jesus healed two blind men and told them it was, “according to your faith.”

Faith is an active enterprise of the heart, soul and mind reaching out to God. It is not a commodity. Often we pastors hear such things as, “Oh, if I had more faith [fill in the blank] would be bet(Continued on page 13)

I learned this lesson as a child from my Dad, a lifelong Baptist deacon. One day when we were hunting the beagles ran across a hill after a rabbit and soon they were out of earshot. Not knowing where they were I started to panic, but Dad said, “Have a little faith, Son. Just because you can’t see them or hear them don’t mean they’re gone.” So we stood quietly in the field and listened. Soon, to my surprise and delight, the whole pack came barreling over a hill from an entirely “American direction Cuisine with than a Twist” different we Corner of Peak St. & Hwy. 828-894-2440 expected.

Mud run team takes fifth place in USMC Ultimate Challenge Mud Run A local team of four women (Mandy Wolfe, Lori Geddings, Ellen Seagle and Belynda Veser) competed in the USMC Ultimate Challenge Mud Run held on Saturday, Oct. 13 in Gaston, S.C. They took fifth place out of 132 All-Female Division and were 141 out of 1,434 teams overall. This particular mud run is not an individual event, but one that involves team effort and perseverance. Participants enter one of seven categories, including military, homeland heroes, all-male, all-female, co-ed, JROTC and corporate.

“Our team is proud to say that each member completed every obstacle, without taking a penalty,” Wolfe said.

“We pushed hard and finished strong.”

The 5.2-mile all-terrain course is equipped with 36 military-style obstacles, consisting of walls, trenches and mud holes that challenge teams

Pictured left to right: Lori Geddings, Mandy Wolfe, Belynda Veser and Ellen Seagle. (photo submitted)

both mentally and physically.

Crossing the finish line solidifies each team member’s feeling

of accomplishment and pride.

Event proceeds go to wounded Marines and fallen soldiers’

families.
