Beautiful Blog entry about Faith

Post by flip-flop »

I just thought I would share this considering how much recent commentary there has been about the negative in the world around us.

http://momastery.blogspot.com/2009/11/on-faith.html

I especially like this: "And when we hear Christians concerning themselves publicly about anything other than poverty and disease and hunger and oppression and violence - we turn away. Because really, who has the time?"

It is a totally apolitical post from an everyday woman with no agenda that I can discern. A friend of mine linked to it from her page. I read it out of curiosity but was immediately taken in by her quiet faith and the beauty of her belief. I am not by any stretch a traditionally religious person, but I loved what this woman had to say.

In my opinon hate is never right and love is never wrong. I think she expresses that so beautifully.

Thank you for sharing this link with us. It was moving to read her words. I especially appreciate the tolerance she has for other religions, and although she has a strong belief, she isn’t a fanatic, who tries to convert other people. Many people could learn from her.
