“Do I love Crista?…there’s something in me that is peaceful and still and insistent that tells me I do.”

I never told you how much that meant to me…I know it was said in context of greater meaning, but wow. Thanks honey. and I feel the same about you.

I like that. I’ll have to remember that when my children ask me really hard questions about love.

“…I just compared God with the emotion of love.”

This part I find interesting. Sometimes I ask myself “Do I believe in God?” The answer doesn’t come from somewhere peaceful and still, saying “I do”. Instead, I hear a voice from somewhere powerful and irresistible, saying “I MUST”. Christianity has always given me the impression of a kind of marriage between a believer and his God. That is how I felt about it when I converted some years ago; and when I drifted away and broke my tie to the Church, it felt like a divorce. I still believe in God, but it is different now. Not like a choice, but more like accepting a truth that I don’t quite want to be true.
