Steve’s faith was the only tonic he needed.
When times were peaceful, he harvested peace. When times were less than peaceful, he sowed the choicest seeds of peace he had hoping for a hundred-fold harvest. When times were joyful he laughed with gratitude. Indeed, some thought he laughed too much, because—face it—nothing was all that good.
When all hell broke loose, as most everyone believed it would sooner or later, Steve didn’t notice.

Faith without works is faith gone flat. Steve’s needed some seltzer added.
