thanks for your insight into spiritually as compared to religion. i am somewhat wary of organized religion. i suspect many of these people want both my soul and my money, on their terms, though i quickly add that their are certainly a great many wonderful people attending church and also good pastors and priests. one merely has to exercise a bit of caution in selecting a religious institution.
I would really like to become more spiritual..to spend some time talking with God...time during which I can forget about my problems, time during which I can refresh myself and time during which i can motivate myself...all with God's help, of course ;).
Like yourself i didn't experience any religious instruction in my adolescent years, so I don't have any emotional attachments to God. i am starting from scratch and have much to experience and experiment with. I find it all quite interesting, but also quite confusing. i don't even bother looking for rational explanations. I merely accept that there is a God who loves me, who will listen to me, who will forgive me and who will guide me. that's the starting point on a long long road.
well this turned into quite a long posting
take care
