I'...I just wanted to say this post was amazing. I'm not a "typical" religous person. I don't categorize myself under a denomination, I don't worship in a church, and I don't have any symbols to represent my beliefs. But I used to get the same feeling in church when I'd sing growing up. I never thought of the possibility that it could be God, I just thought it was nerves.<br />But even now, some days I'll be driving down the highway with the radio blasting... and I feel something. It's like a growing feeling, like something amazing is about to burst out of me in the form of music. It's very calming even to a skeptic like myself. :)<br />Pancake sounds like an amazing little girl, I'm sure you're very proud because I know I would be!Reece Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05331390882115279385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79674722144036755.post-64418855692949094212011-02-16T10:56:47.147-06:002011-02-16T10:56:47.147-06:00RW: yeah, catholic. there are so many of us that c...RW: yeah, catholic. there are so many of us that carry baggagge to a certain degree. but I'm glad you didn't let that stop you, glad you are still a seeker and let-er of love in your heart :)<br /><br />Slyde: aww . . . will let her know<br /><br />Green Girl: yeah, this post. my daughter is jsut so awesome with the teaching me about church! awesome!Mrs. Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15360433416733092249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79674722144036755.post-46595275310006976722011-02-16T08:54:10.355-06:002011-02-16T08:54:10.355-06:00Ah, I just love this post.

But b...Before I became a Quaker I was nothing much. But before that I was raised Catholic. And we had the shirts and ties and strict nuns with the thimbles on their fingers whacking you in the temple when you misbehaved. It was awesome (coughcough). <br /><br />Along with that was the fact that being raised urban/ethnic/Catholic meant there were a lot of threats about God. That thunder is God punishing someone. You better behave or God will toss lightning bolts down at you. God is an angry old man with a white beard in the clouds and he is watching every. move. you. make.<br /><br />And I would go to church (6 times a week - once before school every day and then again on Sunday) and even though it was all in Latin and stern and the organ music will kill you if you think a wrong thought, I never felt the way they told me I was supposed to feel.<br /><br />I never saw this "God" thing as a mean old fart up there watching for any wrong move you-better-behave crap. I always felt happy. And warm. And quiet. At seven.<br /><br />It took a while to find that God again. Once I got passed the grown-ups version of the Wizard of Oz.<br /><br />Why would God hate something he created? Why would he want to see it damned forever? I always thought the Christian metaphor was that you could get another chance. That no matter how bad you did there was always a chance to change & make it up. <br /><br />I think your daughter has it just right.RWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14416316296228157208noreply@blogger.com
