Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible.
St. Augustine
My thoughts are turning toward the life of Abraham. This Sunday I will begin a series of messages about Abraham's journey toward the "Promised Land". I enjoy studying Abraham's journey because of the raw biography that is provided in the Bible. Though Abraham is remembered for his great faith, he is also remembered for his struggles along the way. The life lessons are remarkably fresh. God still calls us to go where we haven't been...and it's not easy. We still owe our allegiance to what St. Augustine called the "city of God" though we are surrounded by pressure to belong to the "city of man".
