Everyday faith

Today's first reading is nothing short of a marvel comic hero episode.  Elijah foretells of rain and when King Ahab has taken off on his chariot, he tucks in his robe and out runs him!  That's some super hero stuff!  

And tomorrow's reading is quite contrary to this super hero thing.  We see God revealing himself in a gentle breeze, rather than a torrent or fire or an earthquake.  Nothing dramatic or solemn.  Just plain and simple.  Everydayness!  

Our faith is more akin to the latter day experience rather than the former.  Although we tend to look for and wish it were more dramatic and action-filled than mundane and routine!  But what is mundane and routine is what builds up character in the long run, not the sporadic and tempestuous.
