Hello everyone! It’s that time again. Here are the monthly questions for everyone to ponder. I hope each of you will take the time to mull them over. And of course, my own answers are listed below.
- Have you ever had to go through a long period of pain and suffering that was out of your control, if so what was it for?
- If you can, define what it means to you to have faith in a Higher Power?
- What spiritual figure throughout all of time and history do you currently feel you relate the most to?
- If you could take a spiritual pilgrimage to anywhere right now by just thinking about it, where would it be to?
- Name one movie you’ve seen in 2016 that truly stirred your heart and soul.
- What do you think Heaven is?
- Name one of the most uplifting things you’ve ever done for your spirituality?
- Name one of the most destructive things you’ve ever done to your spirituality?
- What is your Achilles heel?
- Name the most recent place you visited that you would deem as spiritual?
And as always, one more for good measure:
- Name one weird but strangely entertaining thing you’ve observed lately.
My answers:
- Yes, with my health issues I’ve been facing for the past bunch of years.
- For me faith means living with uncertainty and trusting that my Higher Power has got it all under control.
- Job from the Bible.
- The tomb where Jesus emerged reborn.
- Midnight Special.
- A place where there are no fears and worries, no anger and hate, a place where only love exists…a love for everyone and everything.
- Going on a 10-day silent meditation retreat in the mountains.
- Partaking in an adulterous relationship with a married person for almost 2 years while remaining friends with their family.
- Probably struggling with my answer to #2.
- The Basilica and National Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation in Carey, Ohio.
- Watching a small ant on my kitchen floor work very hard to haul a large piece of a fallen blue cheese crumble away to its home.
Peace, love, light, and joy,
