I would say my poise comes from my faith.

What is faith but a kind of betting or speculation after all? It should be, I bet that my Redeemer liveth.

For most of us, the great danger is not that we will renounce our faith. It is that we will become so distracted and rushed and preoccupied that we will settle for a mediocre version of it. We will just skim our lives instead of actually living them.
