My belief in God is all tied up with the crazyness of my father. His being a missionary and evangelist preacher...so many of his actions explained by "God told me to".
He said God told him to act like he did, so many times. It has always messed with me.
So Andrew, I don't know what is real and true religiously, but I do know that things happen in their own time and somehow things eventually seem to right themselves....
Except, our bodies and minds are left with the scars and the coping mechanisms we learned to deal with our individual traumas....coping mechanisms that seem all out of whack with everyday life.
I wish you and everyone who posts or reads this thread a peaceful evening and a good and refreshing night of sleep tonight.
