It was overreaching on my part. Forgive me. I grew up living below the poverty line while having a father who was trying to work up the corporate ladder. We often worked at the food bank but also got dented cans there. It was only later I realized we were really poor- I felt rich because of my family and my church. We are all trying to hold it together while struggling with it the tensions of our world. Myself included. Thanks for your comments and I hope someday we may connect @ HS. I believe God is still at work there and in your life. May God bless you in your daily journey.Law+Gospelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635380643783565043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675473586657538589.post-87902614654964940262011-11-13T00:32:09.010-05:002011-11-13T00:32:09.010-05:00I believe many people, believers in society today ...I believe many people, believers in society today DO let current events and circumstances color their view of God. Cynicism too often creeps in to even those believers attempting to hold it together.<br /><br />Oh and as for the food comment you made; I would like to respectfully disagree. I commend the point you are making about having better things for ourselves, but I would like to say that my family and I currently purchase generic items frequently. We do not make enough money to spend dollars (sometimes just cents) more on name brand things. I am ashamed to note also that as a child I grew up in an ELCA Lutheran church loving to give on "Fill the Pantry" Sunday. Since I have grown I give of myself daily to others in my profession but I fail to give as much as I know I should, or rather could, in church. Since growing older, I struggle a lot with the principles with which I was raised.<br /><br />Thanks for your article. Oh and one more thing...thank you for taking on the challenge of Holy Spirit Lutheran Church. It is and forever will be a sacred and special place for me. I only hope I may feel connected there again at some time in the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
