Rock n' Roll Doggie Band-aid
First a word of explanation:
Iron Horse has the Sunday Dispatch, and VintagePunk has the Friday Night Dispatch, so I've decided to add the Sabbath Dispatch on Saturday (my time any way) so that the whole weekend is covered. I think IH and VP have the market pretty much cornered on pithy, thought-provoking sayings and song lyric quotes, so I've decided to do something different.
At least for now, I'd like to run a "Statement of Belief" series. I've been thinking for awhile now that I'd like to try to articulate what my beliefs are--where I'm at now. I thought it might be interesting to share that process here and maybe here what other posters on FYM believe. So every Saturday (or Friday night for those in the U.S.), which I observe as my Sabbath, I will post a different statement of belief. I'd like to invite others to respond with their own statements of belief on the given topic. I'd prefer that this not become a debate thread--there's plenty of space for that elsewhere in FYM, but more of a place where we share our own unique perspectives and beliefs. But if somebody really is hot to get in there and correct me or anyone else, well, that's you're right to do so and I'm not gonna carp about it.
I also want to make it clear that my beliefs are not, nor have they ever been rigid. They are constantly in flux and I'm sure they will continue to change. This is more of a snapshot of what I believe now, than something set in stone.
I hope this will be a unique and interesting addition to the "weekend dispatches."
That said, the Dispatch:
I believe in God.
By that I mean, of course, I believe that God exists. I believe this not primairly because of Scriptures, or because such belief "answers the conundrums of life'" though that's part of it, but mainly because I feel His presence in my life. I sense Him speaking to my heart. I realize that may make me sound somewhat insane, but seeing as how I'm able to hold a job, and get along in society, I'm not going to worry too much about that.
I also believe in God in the sense that I believe He (or She or It--I don't believe God has a gender per se) is good, that He can be trusted, that He cares.
I believe that God created all things, and that He cares about all that He has created.
I believe that God is Love and Love is God.
What do you believe?
