On deific inclination

If you feel so inclined as to consult your deity of choice on the topic of P's recovery,we'll all be quite grateful.

(And, if you have a few extra moments while deifically consulting--should you feel so inclined--I'm sure C's parents would also appreciate a good word.)

These two lines came in an email from one of my yahoo groups. I do not know the sender. The email was about a new baby and the heart murmur that was detected after birth and the ensuing time in ICU.

In this day and age, God is a hot topic. Whether or not people believe in him and whether or not it is appropriate to mention his existance in the presence of others. Political correctness and all that jazz. Don't forget - you might be infringing on others' rights to not hear about God. Which in turn infringes on your rights TO hear about God. Pretty much a never-ending no-win battle.

One weekend in college, we were able to attend an open house at the B'hai Temple near campus. Ever since then I have been a fan of the B'Hai beliefs. Hopefully saying that won't get me kicked out of the Catholic club. But really, their belief that all of the various key religious figures around the world (Jesus, Buddha, the Morman guy-can't remember his name, etc.) are all just prophets and messengers from the ONE GOD above. I guess it just resonates with my all-inclusive-why-can't-we-all-just-work-together-and-get-along personality.
