Long before the fancy and expensive sets of today, I had a blue plastic brief case that held all my Legos and my hand drawn designs for building and creating.
Rebecca, Just read your what and why article. Wonderfully constructed. I Am a person who asks why and wish to know how things are put together. My father was in the construction business. I used to watch him repair things and stuff. It was fascinating to me.
My Religion, Catholic has so many rules and regulations that I find not to be "Godly". My children sometimes call me a Cafeteria Catholic. Perhaps I am. I do not believe a God would say or do some of the things I was taught. My father was not a Catholic. He was a warm generous, gregarious, funny guy. He made sure we went to church and "behaved". I was told if you are not Catholic you would not goto heaven. Do't think so.
Interpretation is different when talking to different people. Translating things from one language to another is not exact. Since we are all children of God and God loves us and we are not all the same. He/ she must have his/her own yardstick. I know we say Father because that is what we were taught. If we are made in his image and likeness and we are male and female who is to say what is"right". Your inner being tells you. God talks to us if we listen. Just because someone who is so "learned" says so. Don't think so.
In talking about Jesus sitting at the right hand of God. We are all products of our parents. We are not our parents. I say all the questions we ask and cannot find answers for, we will find out when we get to where we are going, after we leave here. By then we won't care because we will know. Keep shinning your light and thoughts with us my friend. XO Cheryl W
Fortunately I was encouraged to ask questions when I was growing up, but I was also taught to never question your faith. Thanks for reminding us that asking WHY we believe strengthens our faith.

Thankyou!
Thank you for providing a thought provoking, mid-week "sermon". I enjoy them, need them and look forward to them!
