Faith Quote by James L. Davis
““- What faith do you practice? What religion do you follow?” - The old woman chortled softly, her bosom jiggling beneath the shift. “I don’t follow religion. I follow faith, wherever its winding path may lead. Following religion leads to a loss of faith. Follow faith and you may, in time, find religion in the face of God. That’s something religions have lost over time.””
