“The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” ~ Wintson Churchill

We all wrestle with moments of skepticism about some things.  Perhaps it is because skepticism is easier than the discipline of actually considering the alternative.  When thinking about the good things consider that skepticism is just a step away from doubt. Travel the skeptics road long enough and that particular truth will fall far behind you. On the other hand our imagination, like a map, allows us to see truth in our hearts before we see it with our eyes. Without our imagination we lose our sense of wonder for the things of God.  Life becomes largely shades of grey, calling foolish those who exercise their imagination and see the world in all its glorious and vibrant colors.  No wonder Jesus appealed to our child like faith and imagination with His parables.
