Your Life…Your Answers…Your Happiness Life is full of questions. Some are simple to answer, while others are more challenging. A wise man used to tell this story to those who were searching for answers to spiritual questions in their life: One day two acquaintances got on a train to take a long trip across the country. As a matter of fact, the trip was so long that it would take three days and three nights. So they decided to share a room. One of these men was a very rich man and the other was a thief. When the thief entered the room, the rich man was counting his money. The thief then went to wash up and when he got back the rich man was fast asleep. The thief tore the room apart, but could not find the money. The next morning when the thief woke up, he saw the rich man counting his money. Again, on the second night the same thing happened. The thief was getting more exhausted as he searched harder and harder. By the time the third morning rolled around, the thief was so exhausted and so frustrated that he blurted out: “Where did you hide your money!”— The rich man answered, “Under your pillow.” In the same manner, we are so busy in our attempt to find lasting happiness in the world that we seldom look under our own pillows — to the very source of our experience of happiness. Your questions about spiritual enrichment and fulfillment, social justice, and your place in this world can best be answered by you. It is our belief that being a part of community can help you to find the answers you seek. Called To Be Helping people to find community and discover the promise of God's eternal love is what Union Avenue Christian Church is called to be. Collectively and individually the members of Union Avenue are stewards of this legacy and of the gifts that God has granted us. What we do with these gifts ultimately defines the character of our life and the depth of our spiritual understanding. Community gives us the strength and support we need to ask and answer the questions that define our spiritual understanding. When we choose to mine our own experience and being, we begin to find where our soul and God’s presence meet.
