There’s a church not far from my parents’ house that has a huge billboard outside. Every few months they change the message, and over the years I have cringed time and time again at some of the excruciatingly cheesy or embarrassing slogans that they’ve come up with. But yesterday I went past the church again for the first time in ages, and the current message reads:
“Prayer is asking for rain, faith is carrying an umbrella”
I’ve kept thinking about it ever since.
