And God said, Let there be Light
Kathy, if you could wrap your mind around one concept: You (and every other thing) exists because God is thinking all of it into being.

...God forgave for me, my ex-husband's abuses; I don't need to recall them again. The sun has set on my fears of being broke; I find one doesn't die from loss. The statute of limitations for workplace grievance is long past gone. (Lord, help me to be empty of all the rest, so that …

"I believe I free-willed myself right off the path and the powers that be had to do a massive reroute to get me back on track. It took years, and a lot of people were impacted." Help, is anybody up there? I'm here, I can help. Who is that? It's me, God. Thank God! I'm …

This is a response to some concerns posed about my previous post, I Asked for This Suffering. My friend said that he was wondering about my implying that God would be proud of Adam and Eve for eating of the tree. He added that "it would seem too much like "an evil game or ploy" …
