Dearest Butterfly,
I also think the church doctrine is based on mans opinions.
But, where would we be without the structure of it?
Many people believe that theirs is the only religion.
I beg to differ as I think God is in every breath we take.
Everything I personally have been through in my life was
and is a continuing learning experience.
For what reason or end? I have not a single idea.
But I also know this is the way it is for everyone.
I read an engish author one time that said
all of us go through trials and tribulations......all suffer
Just in different ways.
I thank Heavens mine was addiction,
as I see many with children that never will be whole.
With loved ones that need constant care
People that have no use of their limbs, or speech processes
Yet they live, and are grateful for the moments of life!
I am not ashamed of the road I traveled......
I want to take each bend in the road as a sign
that there is a purpose and reason for my life.
And I think some would call that faith
Yours is there, shame & hopelessness have
darkened the doorway thats all.........
Have Faith Baby!!
It's there
Much Love EX
