Build Something That Outlives You
Faith eventually produces something outside of itself

The room smelled like paper and cement dust. Someone had painted the shelves the day before and the fumes were still in the air.
Ideas become actions
Faith that stays inside the head becomes an opinion. Faith that reaches the hands becomes a room where children read.
The test of a conviction is whether anything outside of you changes because of it.
Start small enough that you can actually begin, and durable enough that it does not need you.
For the Way
Something to carry with you.
Questions to Think About & Discuss
- 1.What have you been given that a neighbour actually needs?
- 2.What could you start this year that would still be running without you?
Practice
Give four hours this month to something you do not own and will not be credited for.
Life is short. Live forever.
