She has a book entitled "People Who Love God but Hate the Church" that is really interesting. One of the fastest growing populations from a religious perspective are those that describe themselves as "non-practicing catholics". <br /><br />As someone who is up by 0500 every day, I don't think there is a more spiritually powerful moment than when the sun first breaks over the horizon in the morning.

She's on a small lake and I usually get there once a year right before Thanksgiving. I take my cup of coffee, go out there and listen to the ducks and other wildlife, and the lapping of water. It's so quiet and peaceful, I also KNOW there is a God that loves us all.<br />I don't go to church regularly anymore for various reasons, but none have to do with God. It's the humans at the church I attended that ruined it for me. But, in those moments on the deck, I believe I say my most heartfelt prayers. <br />Thanks for this post.SurprisedMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11474705305996978532noreply@blogger.com
