A Life Well Lived

My grandfather is someone who regularly makes outlandish and unbelievable comments so it has become more and more rare for him to utter words that surprise me and catch me off guard.
However, that is exactly what he did during the course of a dinner conversation a few years back. After reading some passages from Scripture, my grandfather made the comment that not one time during his 80 plus years of life did he doubt the veracity and truth of the Bible.
I was flabbergasted that someone who had grown up in the Depression with no more than a 6th grade education could make a statement like that. After seeing his beloved first wife die during childbirth and seeing his only son choose a life of addiction. After outliving his eldest daughter, he lays the claim that he has never had any doubt concerning his faith.
Yet I, with a pampered lifestyle and a college education frequently battle moments of unbelief and questioning about whether or not I should place my faith in someone that I have never seen.
I, like Thomas, wish for Him to show me the holes in His body to prove to me once and for all that He actually had the strength to take and conquer the weight of humanity's sins.
