It always does. Some people believe that is God. I do believe in an ever present power I just don't happen to believe that there is an entity sitting in chair behind pearly gates guiding our paths. I hear people talking about the peace they find in turning to God. I try to live with an open heart (sooooo hard most of the time) and that brings me peace. I know that I am the only thing I can control in this world and it's the way I interact with the world that determines my path and the possibilities that are presented to me. It's also the way I get through the hard times. |
Kelly - your thinking and beliefs are right there with Kevin's. It was hard for me to fathom when we first started dating that anyone did not believe in God or the bible. It took me awhile (and many heated arguments) to learn that his beliefs were okay. He is still a "spirtual" person. He just doesn't believe the way that I do, or the way I was raised to believe. I still pray. I always will. I do find strength in prayer. But, I will never judge someone who doesn't have the same belief that I do. I don't think it matters where you find your strength, just that you do.
I also believe that if you live a good, honest life and have a warm heart you will be rewarded in the end. Some may see it as another life, some may see it as heaven, etc. But I think the key to it all is to love life and people as best you can.
