I really liked your message here. You look at faith logically, as do I. This all didn't just happen. I liked the yellow on the black background but found the font a little difficult to read. good luck.

    Thank you. I'm seldom accused of being logical, but I see your point. For example, I am a believer, but I can't believe that He controls everything. The horrors of 911, natural disasters, plane crashes would not occur if He controlled everything. I accept that WE must deal with real life and our Faith gives us strength to do so. On the font, yes, yellow is bold, but I will probably not use that one again.

    Thank you and I am glad you found my thoughts true to Him. I seldom write of my Faith, but this prompt sent a spark that got me going. It felt good to write.

To me, this is a beautifully written combination of doubt and faith. We all have these questions and the answers, I think, are personal and unique for each of us. If I read this correctly, faith is your belief that there is an "overseer" of all that is and that there is a hereafter where we'll understand how He works and what we accept by faith now. I could never express that as well as you have. I was moved by your poem.

    Wow, Ms. Judith. I am never accused of moving anyone spiritually. Many thanks. Your "personal and unique for each of us" is a good way of saying it. And, I think we might agree that it is not just about prayer, but thought and action. A childhood friend of mine was later working toward a degree in divinity when I called on him to help me understand the mess of my life. I was drifting in school and lonely and depressed. I told him that I did pray often for guidance. He gave me a thought that still guides me today, over 50 years later: "It's always good to have prayers, but usually it's best to put legs on them." Shortly thereafter, I joined the Navy and with boot camp came an awakening, with service came a meaning, with my return home, came a new major, a career and, later, a marriage of now 47 years...

    I have a friend that prays a lot but never "puts legs to them". We often disagree on that subject! I have beliefs that are different from most and not well accepted so I appreciate hearing others with the same questions. In my view, the life you describe is a remarkably well lived one. Mentors in youth really matter. Now I'll hush!!
