I hurt for you, for the battle you're struggling with. If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know. Writing is cathartic though, and the more you let it out, the better you'll eventually feel.Barri L.

It hasn't. I still ache with sadness at your poignant confession of a crisis of faith. I think we all go through this. I have. But I've also rallied, realizing that without the hope of a greater place after our time here on earth is finished, where would the strength to live come from? <BR/><BR/>And, life is good. Sure, life has problems, but life is good.<BR/><BR/>Isn't the traditional teaching that God gave his angels free will, gives us all free will, and is saddened when our free will makes us hurt others, but because he loves us, he doesn't take away that free will? Unconditional love, a model of how we are to treat each other.<BR/><BR/>This, too, shall pass for you. You are not alone in your questions, and you are not alone in your sadness. <BR/><BR/>I'm sending strength to you ...Juanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978139993370096599noreply@blogger.com
