Please know that as I write I will use various words to reference, or point to, “God”. I may use Creator, Source, or Being. Know that all of these words mean God, if the word God is your reference point. I will often use the masculine when referencing God, only because it was so ingrained during my childhood that it still seems a bit odd to use the feminine. However, I may from time to time use feminine terminology such as “she” to refer to our Creator. You may also feel free to substitute whatever word works for you. When we embrace different names for our Creator I think we can begin to see the reach of his love, even beyond the borders of our own personal religion or belief system.
I don’t see myself as anyone to follow. I haven’t read the Bible cover to cover yet, so I can’t quote much scripture. But, I know what I know, I feel what I feel, and I hear what I hear. I’m just a guide of sorts standing along the way, someone to point you in the general direction. To those that I meet on the trail, I will say “It’s kinda up that way, a little to the left and then a little to the right”, and then finally I will say “you’ll know it when you see it”.
