Saturday morning coffee chat... Kids Activities Blog

Earlier I was born into the big blogworld, while the balance of the world was unaware, many to most Saturday mornings I spent with my dear friend via email solving the globe'due south problems–big and infinitesimal. And You lot thought the earth merely chugged forth without our intervention? She is someone that I have not laid eyes on in over a decade and a half, but since we discovered that we shared similiar souls packaged differently in college the bond was set. If only the rest of the earth could have been aware of how cool we were/are? Who wouldn't be thrilled to exist included in our all night Christian Slater movie festivals (don't judge u.s.a.! Y'all know you lot would!)?

So, why today to rejoice the Ode to Jodi? Considering at 1:22 am concluding night I read the following in "Eat, Pray, Love" (just because a billion people are reading it right now shouldn't subtract it'southward value). This is on page 175, chapter 57 for the billion that are following forth at home:

"The devout of this world perform their rituals without guarantee that anything proficient volition always come of information technology….Devotion is diligence without assurance. Faith is a way of saying, "Yes, I pre-have the terms of the universe and I comprehend in accelerate what I am presently incapable of understanding." There's a reason nosotros refer to "leaps of faith"–because the decision to consent to any notion of divinity is a mighty leap from the rational over to the unknowable, and I don't intendance how diligently scholars of every religion will try to sit down you downward with their stacks of books and evidence to you through scripture that their fatith is indeed rational; it isn't. If faith were rational, it wouldn't be–by definition–faith. Faith is belief in what y'all cannot come across or prove or touch. Fath is walking face-showtime and total-speed into the dark. If nosotros truly knew all the answers in advance every bit to the meaning of life and the nature of God and the destiny of our souls, our belief would not be a spring of faith and it would non be a mettlesome act of humanity; it would just be…a prudent insurance policy. I am not interested in the insurance industry. I'm tired of being a skeptic, I'm irritated by spiritual prudence and I feel bored and parched by empirical debate. I don't want to hear it anymore. I couldn't intendance less near evidence and proof and assurances. I simply desire God. I desire God inside me. I want God to play in my bloodstream the fashion sunlight amuses itself on water."

I know for a fact and studied try that I couldn't say it ameliorate myself!

PS–A special thank you lot to my personal Information technology section for bringing me up to date on my links.
