Faith is something we all have.  Fervour we see as passion without control or reason whether to a person, a cause, a God.  It comes in many forms, many shapes, many sizes.  It may be a one-time thing or a life-long devotion.  It may be our guiding light or reached for only when life has obstacles that on our own we can’t fully navigate.  We need to believe that some force, some power, can reach out and remove the problem, the danger.
