Thank you for pointing that out SS: Prayer is NOT about religion, although religion can and should be used whenever it is helpful, for example, I use the "christian prayer structure" as our friend here puts it, not because it is THE only WAY, but because it is what I know and MY way.
Man and his symbols, yea? Whatever "label" or organizational structure we use, in the end, these human constructs are just that, constructs. The bottom line is the only thing that REALLY matters in the end, and as long as these "underlying principles" are in the right place, feel free to use whatever construct or labels or God you choose.
Praying for you, Bud <3 and Thank YOU for all you bring to this world, this board.
