He Walked On Water

He Walked on Water In my youth, I thought it was a farce! Because I wanted man to be the great overcomer, not a God! And most assuredly I found, faith in  man to be an absolute, total bummer! The darling of the universe! So obstinate and narcisstic, was I. I had to learn the excruciating way, How pig-ignorant it is to try. College degrees, money, drinking, endless bonking, vacations left my inner being so woefully dry. I tossed the Bible out of my Life and how blundering I was, struggling  frantically to prove that man was all there was. The endless impoverishment of my days, The fears and tears and loneliness, oh! These lasted decades and decades. My crackbrained struggles to find ultimate truth in folk songs? Yes, they are still out there with the pretense of having the world's solutions? How could I have believed such trash? I belonged housed, in an institution! It was decades of a God-less travail, Some very harsh lessons I had to be taught. Yet, once I invited God to live within my soul, Days of vile emptiness and the most vile  addiction of alll~~proving I was the best, were removed and gone!! Gratefully, with one invitation to The Christ absolutely and suddenly all madness ceased. (This is the life and truths of a grateful and not yet accomplished poet.)

Beautifully done, my friend, a wonderful tribute to a sinner (which we all are of course) finding her way back to her faith, and relishing her home place.

We all rebel in our youth and think we know it all but we always come back to where we started and realise it was there all the time. Wisdom comes with age. Have a great weekend. Tom

Tom.. I explained to Jennifer, I searched for Him in all the wrong places, I never was an atheist ever. Sad to hear about the shooting in CA a few hours ago at a Chabad Synagogue. Nobody dead. Thank God. Yes will have great weekend,Panagiota.
