I totally remember Gilly and her pictures and you telling me about her. I remember the impact she had on you. You have shared a beautiful story and told it in both a funny and poignant way. I thought for a second, way back then, that Gilly might lure you over to the other side. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449963974153023419.post-76036463511423028582012-05-08T18:38:44.933-07:002012-05-08T18:38:44.933-07:00You didn't take the blog hostage, but you did ...You didn't take the blog hostage, but you did take my ham hostage there a little bit.

Reflect on that and his life. He went to hell and back in God's time and in God's way. We are human and we are forgiven. We need just to do our best (plus prey and go to church, IHMO). Oh, and also read the bible and pray what's in your heart. One little flip calendr bible passage a day keeps it very real for me, and opened into a whole new world of understanding.

You know, they say that the son of God, Jesus, AKA the Prince of Peace, lamb, vine -many aliases -same God -is the one true way to know God, our Father. The Holy Spirit is Omni prescient and is the thrid part of the holy Trinity (God). When I really needed a hand to find my strength during really hard times fairly recently, I found my way back home to the catholic Church and have come to feel a deep love for it. It was, almost suddenly, when my heart opened up and felt deep empathy for Jesus, that I realized the unthinkable sacrifices that God has made for his love mankind -us.

You are an entertaining writer with the unique ability to put into words what many of us are thinking.<br />This entry really hit home for me. For many years I was searching for meaning with my religious beliefs. You might say I had lost faith in God. One day I heard a minister from Unity church speak at a woman's shelter where I was doing some volunteer work. She said "we were spiritual beings having a human experience" and "wherever we are God is". I went and checked out this church I had never heard of and felt I had come home. It filled that hole.<br />Keep writing. You have a special talent.Bethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6449963974153023419.post-12556395830904054932012-05-07T11:18:22.356-07:002012-05-07T11:18:22.356-07:00Thank you, Robin.

I think I'm in charge of my plan and that God is very amused by all my missteps.
