I loved your pictures of the storm, and indeed... my favorite place to talk with the Lord is outside in the midst of His creation... man has a way of messing everything up, but with God... He does all things well, and perfection, hope, peace, truth, it can all be found in Him. I'm glad that you have seen that man holds no answers, the only thing a man can do is point the way to God, but never ever, should a man place himself as the answer or the solution to any problem. Only GOD! I was blessed by your post today! :) Marilyn @ MountainTopSpicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600290895531484438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737531804022285705.post-9408566985109730042016-03-20T11:55:35.799-04:002016-03-20T11:55:35.799-04:00So true, Betty - that's all we need.

I was very happy until I was 25 and than left the church. Now I am like you. I pray every day in my own way and give blessings to God for what he has given me. You really don't need a building with other people to praise God and honor him. You just have to do it in your own way every day.

I don't think God has any 'religion'. He is not Catholic, or Baptist, or Lutheran, or Evangelical--although I think sometimes each sect believes it is the only one going to Heaven..AND guess what?

I still love the Bible but I enjoy the deeper meanings of many of those old stories, many drawn from older myths.<br /><br />The cloud formations were so glorious on St. Pat's day afternoon that I had to grab the camera and will post them eventually but Nature reveals our Creator, I know what you mean by 'moved to prayer'. There's the shock and awe of the skies or a storm, and then there's the little birds and squirrels or finding the first violet...there is religion and then there is WHO / WHAT all religions point to :) Deb @ Frugal Little Bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13091419343402163298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737531804022285705.post-39270595790326865302016-03-18T16:16:08.824-04:002016-03-18T16:16:08.824-04:00God hears every single prayer...no matter when or ...God hears every single prayer...no matter when or where :)Karen@Southern Gal Meets Midwesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04793422872857506538noreply@blogger.com
