God Allows And At Times Causes Us To Go Through The Kinds Of Circumstances That Strip Away All Falsehood And Leave Us With Our Real Selves. God's Ultimate Intent Is Not To Leave Us Faithless, But To Leave Us Faith-full. There Are Few Things As Exhilarating As Going Through The Fire And Finding That You Had The Resilience To Make It Through. All Of Us Wonder At Times Whether We Have What It Takes.

I"m Often Accused Of Being Irreligious, And I Suppose It's For This Very Reason. Whether It's Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Judaism, Or Any Other Ism, When A Religioin Is Created On The Subtle Premise That God Withholds His Love And You Must Submit To The System To Earn That Love, I Consider It The Worst Of Corruptions...
