    welcome maggie, whatever answers you find out from any associations that you have while on this board are answers that you can use to formulate your OWN ideas about what religion is or is not. You have seen much from this board..take what you can use and blow the rest by...other than that? WELCOME

    Welcome!!

    I'm sorry to hear about the very rough time you had. There are people here from all walks of life and with varied and interesting thoughts on all sorts of matters religious and secular. I'm very curious to hear yours, and I hope to over time.

    *Reminded me of the Rod Stewart song.

    "I just wish there was someplace that I could enjoy the truth of Christian freedom to worship my God without all the other stuff that goes on."

    Maggie dear, No need to wish or fret. Enjoy your inner love and worship for God right where you are, right now. Go within. You stand on holy ground. You need no middle-man. A journey to some other place or time is not required. Go to that place where you feel the warmth within. Be still, open, trusting and willing. The Source of this universe is not so tiny as to be absent from where you are. JamesT Oh, and welcome.

    welcome maggie,

    i totally understood some of your statements as experiences in my family shared some common elements.... i think i heard my parents' astonishment on many occasions that the years and years of devoted service meant nothing and were just cast aside.

    i hope you will get to know us here, there are many kind people who would love to help, or just listen.

    my very best wishes, nowisee
