Some might say that spirituality is measured by hours spent in prayer or in the Bible. But, the ability to have fun can be a telltale indicator of good faith health.

When I was a twenty-something, struggling to figure out what God wanted to do with my life, I got some really good advice.  The kind that still sticks with me today, and I imagine is evergreen.

I had just returned from a very traumatic stint as an overseas missionary in Asia.  I was shell shocked, with no idea what to do next. I had sold everything I owned before going off to missions and my bank account was very lean and mean.  No car and just a mailing address.

The beauty of the situation was that a previous Vice President I worked for happened to call me long distance from California, to just say hello and check-in with me.  In less than a 30 minute phone call, I went from being unemployed to employed with a salary that put my money worries to bed.  A month from landing back in the good ol’ USA.

Not only that, the very Sunday afternoon before my first day on the job, a stranger I sat next to in church offered me the keys to her used Volvo, once she found out I was a returning missionary.

Now, you’d think with two miracles like that, my faith would be as indestructible as diamonds.

But, aaahhhh.  I was a diamond in the rough…
