"Is There A God?"

I don't think so, cause if there was I would be able to swim a little better!

Just kidding.....

Sally asked me today if there was a God?  I told her that I was pretty sure there was, even though I don't believe that he/she/it, is anything like the nuns described.

Sally's response was "Yah, I guess ya gotta believe"

And I'm with you Sally.  As ludicrous as I find the description of God that I hear from most organized religions, I find it even more ludicrous to consider that there may not be a God at all.

So while I still wish I could swim a little better, I also know that the important needs of my life are being pretty well met.

After all, 3 weeks from today I'm going back to the scene of last years tragedy, and I'm just so damn grateful that a whole year later I still have the mental and physical ability to do so.  And for the next 3 weeks, every time I get the heebie-jeebies, or every time a little doubt creeps in, I'm gonna remember Sally's advice.

Ya Gotta Believe!!!  Game on!!!  Be Not Afraid!!!

  1. Of course there is a God! What that God looks like and how the God interacts with us humans is not something that will ever be dictated by "religion," but by something in yesterday's quote: Love. For me, God IS love. Yup! Game on!

    Love, gail
