OK, since any revelation as to who or what we are must somehow encompass what we believe, a discussion of faith must ensue. To reveal who I am therefore demands a discussion of faith, especially as a personal faith is at the very core of who I think I am. That said, I suspect this will be the shortest of all blogs. See, if I have not demonstrated my faith, any verbal discussion seems superficial.

The world is full of organized religions, all somehow espousing their own "one universal truth", and most with a cadre of young militant males willing to kill you if you do not embrace their own "loving" God. We have heard that "God made man in his image....." Seems to me that we have tried to make God into ours. Arguing over who is right when discussing faith is like a bunch of ticks arguing over who owns the dog........ Seems just ludicrous to me.

I think we all have known individuals that verbally say one thing, but their actions speak volumes to a different truth. Some information is just not communicable by words alone. If I have not lived "love"..... if I somehow have left a question in your mind as to whether my allegiance was to something greater than my own immediate gratification, then I failed in my faith.

Do I believe in something greater? Yes. Have I lived it? Ahhhhhhhhhhh, there is a great question, but not one I am prepared to answer. It requires a judgement that is not necessarily mine to make. I will offer that I believe in a universal loving God. I believe we are more than just the bodies we inhabit, I believe in love, I believe in the people I love...... and I believe that is enough..........
