It makes me sad.<BR/><BR/>I cannot imagine many people are scared into true faith. It's just not a good tactic.<BR/><BR/>As to your idea of living in the present, I agree. It's even a Biblical value. Christ said not to worry about tomorrow because tomorrow has enough worries of it's own.FarmWifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08160105159061698526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646749189327464337.post-53726562227409769742009-02-17T23:42:00.000+00:002009-02-17T23:42:00.000+00:00Oh, that must have been so hard for both him and y...Oh, that must have been so hard for both him and you, Gail.I like the Buddha thought.

I think he purposely was ignoring the memory of Mom. Then he would remember she was gone and it was just like he lost her again. <BR/><BR/>Hang in there.

I have my on ideas about faith as well, I do belive in God but choose to keep it to myself and personal as I think it should be. I try not to dwell in the past. I think those who do have given up on life and stopped living. Any way you made me think.

I wasn't sure how to approach Arm's comment, but your words mean an awful lot to me as I know you have a very strong faith.If there were more people like you in the world it would be a better place.Thank you.

A good reminder to look at each day and try to make it a good memory. <BR/><BR/>I, like you, am content in being surprised when and if I leave this body. Until then, I'll treat others as I would like to be treated and help others along the way. I've read the most common factor between all major religious teachings is the golden rule. It's a biggie and if everyone truly followed it, what a beautiful place this would be.Balouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16282727193681200721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646749189327464337.post-7299511237106753692009-02-12T00:47:00.000+00:002009-02-12T00:47:00.000+00:00Sarah, i just read Arm's words on the last post (a...Sarah, i just read Arm's words on the last post (at least until i got totally bored and irritated after the first 100 words), and have to say this to you....<BR/><BR/>Way to go for being gracious and beautiful in your response to him. I am very impressed, and think that you acted in a way that is much wiser than what I would have done. Ironically, you responded to him the way Jesus would - with grace and mercy and a loving attitude even though he deserved much worse for his judgmental and holier-than-thou attitude. I think he's the perfect example of what Ghandi said about choosing not to be a Christian. I'm just sorry a so-called follower of Jesus had the gall to act in a way that makes us all embarrassed for him. But I still sit back in awe at the graciousness of your response. If those of us who do claim to follow Jesus could just be as gracious and forgiving as you....<BR/><BR/>Way to go. You make this world a better place.Inklinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02775312085301951675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646749189327464337.post-3912031164826113512009-02-12T00:15:00.000+00:002009-02-12T00:15:00.000+00:00When you really think about, now is it.When you really think about, now is it.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646749189327464337.post-62929822756724230512009-02-11T23:23:00.000+00:002009-02-11T23:23:00.000+00:00Hi Urban Cynic ( I do love that name!!)Its funny i...Hi Urban Cynic ( I do love that name!!)Its funny isn't it?

I look back sometimes but I never go back; I try to learn from the past but not to live in it. I don't think too much about the future as things can change so quickly. I think it's important to live in the here & now; some people spend their whole lives either dwelling on the past or worrying about the future when it's now that's important & now that's real.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
