Belief vs. Faith
I finally started running again (it has been about a month and a half) which always gets me thinking.
I am intrigued with the difference between belief and faith. It is much easier to belief in something than it is to have faith enough to actually do what one believes in. For instance, one can believe in god but it takes faith to actually live with god.
Thinking vs. doing possibly?

Mary Earle told us once that belief was "a turning towards" as it was understood in ancient Greece so that belief in God was a turning your life so as to be oriented to God.
My thinking of it is like standing at a crossroads reading the description of each path. Belief is knowing which way to go, faith is actually following the path.
