Church was my rock. Being caught between a rock and a hard place was when it no longer matched my belief system. My creed includes Christ and the Bible as part of an ever-expanding consciousness; not exactly as it says in the Viewpoint Fellowship Church Literature. When the songs I sing in choir, the beliefs express in the preaching, the music or the literature differ or are limiting, I am in predicament of whether to be attending.
A song I wrote September 11, 2000 still speaks to me. I’d like to share it with you.
I know a love larger than a father
I know a love larger than a mother
I know a love larger than a mountain
I know a love larger than a God
Love that is boundless
Love that is free
Love with no expectations
Love that’s inside of me
Love flowing out another
Love listening as we
Sort out our futures
And live the life we see
Love that’s full of anger
Anger allowed to speak
Lifts us in its power
Allows others to see
I know a love broader than a sister
I know a love larger than the sea
This love that spans the horizons
And keeps filling me.
Thank you for listening.
