God is good. I had no upbringing in any faith either and God reached down and grabbed me too. I am so eternally grateful and humbled by His love for me.
I hear ya,Paved.
The essence of God is not something than cannot be intellectualized.His power must be FELT.
I'm not mad or upset at Mineral and others who deny His existence.I was just like them long ago.Their disbelief doesn't make them bad people.Only folks that are missing out on something very special and beautiful.
