1. confidence or trust in a person or thing:faith in another's ability.

2. belief that is not based on proof: He had faith that the hypothesis....

3. belief in God or in the doctrines or teachings of religion:
 the firm faith of the Pilgrims.

4. belief in anything, as a code of ethics, standards of merit, etc.:
 to be of the same faith with someone concerning honesty.

Confidence and trust in my fellow humans is my very scary aim. Over the

last couple years, I've lost a lot of faith in people. Betrayal by friends, 

unethical conduct in people I believed to be, well, ethical. The list is

endless. And after the bitter year of political fighting, I don't think I'm

the only one who may be wondering about the heart of humanity in

general.

So this year, I hope to have a little more faith where I can in people

by giving them the benefit of the doubt. 

And of course I hope to grow my faith in God, which ties into

giving people grace.

I hope your year is full of growth, hard work and the satisfaction of it!
