How to: find your faith

You know that song, Faith, by George Michael? Cause I gotta have faith...faith faith... (Yup...the same one you're singing in your head right now. Sorry. :)) For a very long time, I thought that faith was reserved only for religion. And this song is definitely not about religion! It's more about a guy who is pining over some lover that left him and he wants them back. (Womp womp).  And has to have faith, faith, faith that it will happen, despite all odds.  Keep singing it, George! So. Growing up Catholic I often believed that faith meant one thing --  FAITH in God.  Like Faith. With a capital F. And that was the one thing that purely defined my belief.  It meant loyalty and trust in God.  That faith was the foundation, the thread that kept it all neatly together -- that faith meant -- I believe in God .  And interestingly, that faith usuallllly came into play when something bad happened.  Anyone else with me? Like, it would show up when someone was ill, or an accident happened
