Message to the Flock

I am having a serious intellectual moment this morning, and I must choose my words carefully to express my point without disrespecting anyone's faith.  I am a faithful believer in a higher power, but not by any name other than Almighty, not by any particular form of worship other than a personal relationship...I can't sit here and Damn someone for their choice in worship, when at the end of the day we are traveling seperate paths, to the same eternal bliss.  My statement to the flock, Forgiveness doesn't have to be the only way to faith.  So many people find "Religion"...after a tragedy, or hitting rock bottom we like to say.  We begin to search for acceptance, redemption by shedding our past and draping ourselves in this new holy glow.  Defining ourselves through the visions of the clergy, and parishioners....Ok now pay attention, true change and true redemption only comes after you gain knowledge of self...in order to properly apply religion; Koran, Biblical instruction...to your everyday life you must understand that life.  These publications are words, these sermons are words, yet when applied to life with the proper understanding of that life it becomes Religious...you can't be pastor, deacon, father, prophet..etc..you are you,

I love my GOD...I love myself..and I Love you all.....Peace
