I believe in God. I believe in the trinity (God the father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit). I never traveled to any City of Peace. I never went on any spectacular Road (not discounting Lou's experience, just telling of my own). I am (to make a long story shorter) an only child, raised by two parents that didn't quit their marriage. My mom was/is Catholic and my dad occasionally came to church with us on Christmas (if that). I think she helped lay the foundations for my faith. Lou is right about the fact that we are all corrupt. We are all hypocrites and sinners. Some believe "do what feels good".... but I think that is a spin-off of "Do what feels RIGHT". A totally different meaning. Christians have depression and mental illness. I believe in miracles and I know that they don't happen to everyone. Someone in a post recently said that God answers all prayers, just sometimes he says "no".
I wanted to have children so badly. Got on fertility drugs and all. It just wasn't my time yet. The night before my 27th birthday I cried and prayed. I thought God already knew what my heart wanted, but I never really prayed about it like I did that night. I really broke down. I sort of 'told' God that I wanted to be regular (sorry if this is too vivid - too late) and I wanted to fall pregnant. The next day (of course my birthday) I started my period. The next month (28 days) I started my period. The following month, no period - prego. Some say coincidence. I know what I feel in my heart.
That is what I beleive in a nutshell.
