I Think About God
And just like the Catholic Church taught me, God really is all-present.
If we could only see that.
If we could only strip away the veneer of dogma that forces the separation between us. If we could only learn to see clearly how much alike we are. If we could only learn to ignore the meaningless differences and get on with living this miracle as part of one God, which is all we really are, who knows how far that could take us.
I know this will never happen. Because let’s face it, not everybody here on earth lives in the same century.
But I think about God, and what you have just read are pretty much my main thoughts.Jim Murray is an experienced advertising and marketing professional and amateur photographer. He has run his own business (Onwords & Upwords), since 1989 after a 20 year career in Toronto as a senior creative person in major Canadian & international advertising agencies. He is a communication strategist, writer, art director, broadcast producer, mildly opinionated op/ed blogger & beBee Brand Ambassador.
Jim lives in St Catharines Ontario (AKA The Quiet Side Of The Lake)

This would also be a good comment on my comment that became a post (see below) Brian McKenzie.. and why I can believe differently than you and we can still be friends.

Gerald Hecht ...I don't presume to explain disasters, because this planet is subject to a million powerful forces. There is chaos. There is harmony. And there is everything in between.

Yeah, I agree Dean Owen. But the thing that people have to always keep in mind is that anything of this nature we write is really just our opinion. And I would never offer it as the only opinion. Because everyone should have their own.

Thanks Don. I'm a devout athiest myself. But as a philosophy buff, I do wonder about what, if anything controls all this.

Gerald Hecht thanks for sharing that speech. I kept thinking, wow, if only I could write like that! I must admit I have never read David Foster Wallace, but it's now on my list.
