Faith vs Logic

This is the day, That the Lord hath made
We will rejoice, We will rejoice and be glad in it ....

Just now I found myself singing this old hymn. When I was younger I used to feel so optimistic about life. I sang almost all the time and I had faith in God , myself and other people. Now I am a lot older and I don't sing like I used to. I find it hard to be optimistic like I was back then. I still have faith in God and in his eternal love , but not like I used to. Life has not been kind to me and I find myself fighting the urge to become hard, bitter and cynical.

I believe God created the Heavens and the Earth just like it says in the Bible. Science says we evolved from apes. Faith says we were created in Gods' image. Science may be more logical but logic is a cold uncaring thing. Scientific facts and fossils give no comfort or hope when your world is crashing down around your ears and you feel like no one cares if it does.

Faith in a higher power is what you need then. That belief is what gets me through the night. Hearing my voice singing those words today made me feel good inside. I also felt a sense of renewed faith deep inside of me. Tomorrow I want to sing again and the next day and the next... Faith can move mountains of fossils, but mountains of fossils can't remove one ounce of faith.
