I have, in the past, been skeptical of religion.  I always felt that spirituality was true but never religion.

I visited an old friend Saturday night and he talked with me about his relationship with a girl he plans to marry.  He just oozed with joy.  He talked of faith and God and I couldn’t help but listen. 

I will never believe that people who don’t believe what I believe are wrong.  I can only offer experiences I’ve had and what I know to be true.

I did morning prayer this morning.  Never before has this happened.  Usually, the only time I think of praying is at night, right before I go to bed but this mroning was different. 

My day went smoother because I wanted it to.  I had the words I said imprinted somewhere in my head.  It is truly comforting and satisfying to just know simple statements to be true.

"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."  John1:5

It reminds me of things I used to be, things I aspire to, and things I want to become.  My mind becomes a place of comfort instead of a place of confusion     anger        stubborness       grief       lonliness       self-doubt       It’s direction known.

Throughout my day, the morning ritual breathed on my neck, just slightly reminding me and delighting me.

Every time I started to forget, somehow I remembered.

Can every day feel like this?  Maybe if I do my mornng prayer.
