Subject: Thought for the day-August 1 From: katlaughing Date: 01 Aug 99 - 12:50 AM I believe the Earth was created simply because God abhors a vacumm and there is need of some sort of proving ground for us before better things. I think people must work and fight simply because it is the inherent struggle for truth in all things and God does not ride near as tight a rein as most religions teach; these teachings are a result of the priesthood's desire to control and prohibit the thoughts and pleasures of the population. - Gardner Lorenzo Hudson - (my dad) katlaughing |

Subject: RE: Thought for the day-August 1 From: Roger in Baltimore Date: 02 Aug 99 - 12:12 AM Kat, It's always a nice thing to see. We parents like to think we can pass something on to our kids. Every now and then we see that happen in someone else's life. I'm sure your Dad was happy to see it. Big RiB |

Subject: RE: Thought for the day-August 1 From: Lonesome EJ Date: 02 Aug 99 - 01:05 AM Someone once told me this. In the beginning there was only God. But He grew tired of being all-knowing, omnipresent and all-encompassing. And so, to pass the time He played a hiding game: He hid himself in intricate disguises of his own devising. He hid himself in rocks, trees and animals. As He grew in His skills, He grew more adept at His hiding, so that by the time He had hidden Himself in the creatures known as human beings, He had a very hard time finding Himself again. And it is in this state that man lives: In constant seeking for the Divinity within himself and others. And so Kat, I believe that little parable has a lot in common with the wise words of your Father, and I believe that he may be a little more successful in his seeking than many of us. LEJ |

Subject: RE: Thought for the day-August 1 From: katlaughing Date: 02 Aug 99 - 01:12 AM I love it, LeeJ! I will pass it on to him! Thanks to you and BigRiB for your kind words. Ya know, RiB, it does show up eventually in our kids, doesn't it? I've seen it in my two oldest, now, if that youngest would just quit being so much smarter than her parents! Thanks! kat |
