Do you want to know why I don't believe in this GOD? because I cannot see how anyone could tolerate or sanction the suffering that goes on in the world to innocent people and animals, I can fathom absolutely no reason nor excuse for it and believe me I've tried to understand. Well Kirsten that's me in a nutshell, pretty big one eh? and accept it warts and all, oh and BTW my grand daughter and her husband have tried many times to 'see the light' their light, as they are good church going people and Lisa works for the church, but do you know what? they still love me. and I thank whatever you may call the spirit that engenders that. I love you too. pity we didn't get a chance to meet in Washington. XArlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06493608700532494612noreply@blogger.com
