I am so glad you have found the food you are looking for. I have found mine too but get frustrated by my own physical limitations. <BR/><BR/>I hope to post something on this before the week is out.

I'd like my every waking moment to be centered in my faith. Whether that's a practical or realistic goal I've no idea, but it's something I'd like to feel if at all possible. <BR/><BR/>Peace!Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09527606943179561117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31603762.post-57051982431911796842008-03-24T18:36:00.000-05:002008-03-24T18:36:00.000-05:00"You tell yourself that you can worship God anywhe..."You tell yourself that you can worship God anywhere. While that last is true, there are things one gains by being part of a community of believers that solitude doesn't provide."<BR/><BR/>This part certainly resonates for me. I was all about the solitary quest for a good 30 years; an important journey, while it was in fact a journey - a wasteland in the later years of spiritual despair. What called me to Rec was the sense that God was in the people there. I wasn't worshiping something abstract and removed from our circle; I was celebrating and creating WITH the living presence of God in our lives. <BR/><BR/>I like the way you describe the different aspects and attributes of faith while on your journey. Nicely done, and thanks.murat11https://www.blogger.com/profile/00663364407992075130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31603762.post-56276297580098599542008-03-24T15:47:00.000-05:002008-03-24T15:47:00.000-05:00Hi Maggie May!

It made everything so meaningful.

I have also written a post linked with David on the same subject, written in a much simpler form, but I identify with the intenseness at the beginning, that gradually wanes to a more livable degree.<BR/>Interesting to read other people's versions on faith & I hope lots of people write in!
