Houses are expensive and not everybody can buy it. But, credit loans are invented to support people in such kind of cases.

I loved the poetry of this.

Still, one of my favorites ever. I saved it in my fav posts folder. Send it to all my friends. You said the words that I felt, but could not express. thanks

I remember reading somewhere a long time ago something to the effect that the 10 commandments were concrete instructions to us on how to love God and our neighbor because as humans we don't always know how to put love into action. This balance is so interesting to me... I really am starting to believe that we need the lists, we need the concreteness of ritual and "rules" in a sense to help us find our way as tiny finite humans in a vast ocean of love and the universe and everything (I sound funny to myself! but I hope you know what I mean). Of course then it's our tendency to make the ritual and the rules the Main Thing; putting the cart before the horse as it were. I don't know. It's more an impression than a thought; and you know I don't mean to imply anything smacking of legalism; I've been as wounded and stifled by Christian Rules as most people from fundamentalist backgrounds. But I get the vague sense that there is a beautiful interaction here that I'm not going to get any closer to at the moment no matter how long I blather. :-)

I think 70/30 is pretty good odds. In general, my odds seem to increase after practicing yoga ... maybe that's why I like doing it so much. Ah, Loo--I must laugh at my state of belief sometimes. It helps to keep me sane and functional. Thank you for this post.

Perhaps you're entering the stage of life where you realize that the "soul survives its adventures", which is new source of inspiration all its own:

"Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged."

Someone once told me that an untried faith isn't much of a faith at all... it needs to be tested before it can be strong. I'm not sure about much these days either--I completely "get" your heart in this.

Hi ... found you via a RT from someone on Twitter.

Good post. I quit God one day about 5 years ago after a traumatic time in my life - and that day was the beginning of understanding the love of my creator. It changed my life and gave me hope again.

Now I find myself in a tough place again - my 19-yr old son was severely injured 3 days ago while snowboarding. He should recovery and be fine ... but it will be a long road. I'm a doubter and questioner even in good times - times like this make it all surface again. So this post caught my eye.

Explored this site and like your favorite quote about starting small. Mine fav quote recently has been "Do what you can where you are with what you have." (Roosevelt)

Faith itself is the certainty. Even a mustard seed's worth moves mountains, fills you with that knowledge that He will come for you...
