Today's thought.......... (2)
HJFinAZ: How can I believe in God when just last week I got my tongue caught in the roller of an electric typewriter?
--Woody Allen
If our introduction to religion and God was filled with threats of punishment and hell it would make perfect sense for us not to want to believe in something so scary. Even though we may have been taught that God is love, we may not have witnessed a lot of God's love in action.
All we are asked to do is to believe in a Higher Power. That could mean God, or it could simply mean the people who are helping us. Our Higher Power is there, watching over us, ready to be seen in any way we are willing and able to see.
Today let me decide for me what kind of God I believe in.

An excellent post, Pat. And yes, I believe that belief in God is personal. I know what I believe God is, but I don't try to force that view on others, for everyone needs to determine that for themselves.
