The truest example of faith is to create something you love and then have the humility to offer that same creation the choice to reciprocate that love.

The moment you give up is the moment all is lost. The moment you realize all is lost is the moment you realize you shouldn’t have given up.

There is no life plan only a plan of life hoped by God. Life is a course with pitfalls and dreams scattered about and our choices to evade one and chase the other.

This is a column from 2009. Please leave your thoughts about in the comments section and share if you like it. I thought I would share it again.
During the Holocaust, a brave group of people who had lost everything except their own lives, took a stand to risk their only tie left to this world—their very existence.
On October 7, 1944, several hundred Jewish prisoners at the death camp Auschwitz (at Birkenau,) were being forced to carry corpses from the gas chambers to the furnace to dispose of the bodies. In those horrible moments, they chose to show the scope of humanity’s spirit in one of the world’s darkest hours.
The band of broken, weak souls blew up one of the gas chambers and set fire to another, using explosives smuggled to them from Jewish women who worked in a nearby armaments factory.
Out of the 450 prisoners involved in the sabotage, 250 managed to escape the camp. They would all eventually be found and executed as well as those co-conspirators who never made it out of the camp and the five women from the armaments factory.
Their actions however, are a lesson in the sense that we should never stop fighting for what is right and good even when it seems hopeless. When we choose to give up, then those who oppress and harm us find our acceptance in their deeds, but when we fight, they are to forced to ask why and within that answer lies the self judgement of their very actions.

Confidence is often dependent on surroundings and comfort and may convey the illusion of morality and integrity. But a true moral code needs nothing more than intent to stand alone. Honor needs no illusion to convey confidence.
