It's not the tools that you have faith in - tools are just tools. They work or they don't work. It's people you have faith in or not. Yeah sure I'm still optimistic I mean I get pessimistic sometimes but not for long.
It is a great consolation for me to remember that the Lord to whom I had drawn near in humble and child-like faith has suffered and died for me and that He will look on me in love and compassion.
