How well do you really know him? Perhaps He is just a manifestation of what you need him to be. After all there have been many, many gods in history. Gallons of blood were spilt in their honour and children and virgins were sacrificed to appease them. Where are they now?<br /><br />Your god, I presume you do mean Yahewah, was the Jewish god of war. He was one mean son of a bitch. It got cute when he sent himself down to earth as his son to atone for the design faults in the people that he created in His image. What was he doing when he should have been keeping an eye on the tree of knowledge? <br /><br />Anyway, the gospels spread and the church was established. Trouble is, it hasn't spread quite far enough and god seems to be rather silent these days. He may speak to you but my guess is, you imagine it.<br /><br />All those people dying in religious wars and conflict when god could do something, anything to show thast he is the one true god. His silence is deafening.<br /><br />You did ask me not to be shy.Philip Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01396688548591376313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999930258339428520.post-60270882433202285892010-03-22T16:41:55.622-04:002010-03-22T16:41:55.622-04:00God is so wonderful in the way that he works!

Not the same congenital condition - but I certainly understand the concerns of your heart for your son. God doesn't have the same plan for each person as far as life on this often difficult planet, but I am growing in trust for everything, and so are you. Not only that, but you write so very well! Blessings on you and your family and new home!Sherri Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02370897359440297281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999930258339428520.post-39749422702631688892010-03-20T08:56:40.241-04:002010-03-20T08:56:40.241-04:00Thanks for sharing your deepest thoughts.
