Dear Pious Bob,
I believe there is something in our universe that connects all humanity, but I'm not sure if it is a creator spirit that is involved in our daily living. Nor am I sure that humans can go and be with that spirit after we leave these mortal bodies. My confusion bothers me and keeps me from achieving a sound faith.
Thank You,
Confused in the Spirit

Dear Confused in the Spirit,
You are not alone in your confusion. Our faith in a Creator God is in great part a mystery to us. We have the life of Christ depicted in the New Testament and the belief in one God by the Hebrew people as described in the Old Testament. Jesus, of course, came out of this tradition and turned it upside down as the Son of Man and the Son of God. His message of love and forgiveness bolsters our faith in God. In his letter to the Romans 8:24-25, St. Paul declares,
"24For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes* for what is seen?25But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience."
The choice for a believer is to make the commitment to be patient and faithful with a strong hope.
God's Best, Pious Bob

Thanks for this Godly Blog. Many will be blessed by it.
I tried before and I think I said: Thanks so much for this. This is the second time in 2 days that I have been given this verse. Just God, knocking me in the head with it. Good thing for me that God has a sense of humor - and lots of patience where I am concerned!
Do they have klondike bars in heaven?
This is great! Can't wait to see more comments and responses.
Dear Pious Bob,
Thanks for creating this blog. Your last posting made me reflect on my own belief in God and the "anchors" that hold me in the storms of my life. While I have had much suffering, somehow God redeems my suffering in some way that gives me hope. Of course, a belief in eternal life with God certainly helps us get through this life. I look forward to more conversations on this Blog. God Bless.
Dear Pious Bob,
Thank you Bob for creating this blog. I just want to tell you what a blessing you are to so many people. I am thankful for the anchors. MY GOD

Thank you and God Bless.
