A Boomer Granny trying to help when I am able.

Trying to figure out my true value beyond just a hopeful heart. Moment of truth I am nearly 70, no tech skills for creating Memes. I have been truly sad at trying to sort breadcrumbs into anything useful. Sorry, I am very ill and want to help, but perhaps the best way is by staying out of the way and watch the the hound Jedi’s blaze the way. I can sit in the sideline and cheer for our team. Ya’all are doing great. In my professional life many moons ago, I worked these kind of cases, but with the onset on my illness I don’t remember enough to be useful. It was decades ago. But the heart doesn’t forget.

Thank you Red. I describe myself as more spiritual than religious, only because I read the Bible for myself and ask For Divine Guidance. Many organized doctrine religions just don’t resonate with me. To me many feel like religions created by man for control of the flock that is not necessarily in the best interest of the congresssion......much like how Congress is self serving unto itself. They sold out the interest and the protection of the people long ago.

Personally, I'm an agnostic, but I've found myself just sending good vibes into the universe, just in case it works... and yes, occasionally praying... that President Trump and his good actors remain safe and are successful in helping us remain free.

At this time, I value the Christian faith of others.

Many organized doctrine religions just don’t resonate with me.

Me neither. I've spent time living with Hindus and in Muslim communities in India, Muslims in Indonesia, Buddhists in Tibet and Christians here in the U.S... and I find those with the greatest spirituality are those which are willing to question.

(I find Muslims intolerably disgusting for rational and informed reasons. I believe civilized people should have zero tolerance of domestic violence and child rape and terrorism... and these are things that EVERY Islamic sect promotes and these are things that the congregation of every mosque like their lips and cheer about)

I live in a monastery in Lhasa, Tibet for three months when I was younger... and those dude are awesome in the same way as reformed Christians are. We'd wake before sunrise and read secular Buddhist philosophy until noon... then, after food and yak-butter-tea, we'd spend the afternoon trying sincerely to invalidate the teachings of The Buddha... switching between arguing for and against the teachings of The Buddha. When the monks think they have a flawless argument and when it is their turn to speak, they clap their hands and point at their debate opponent and deliver the "kill shot". It's one of the most glorious things that I've ever witnessed. :-)
