Entreat me not to leave you or to return from following you; for where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God my God..." ~ Ruth 1:16 R.S.V.
Ebby looked at Bill across the kitchen table.
Why don’t you choose your own conception of God?
From that point Bill figured out it was
a matter of being willing to believe
in a Power greater than him. But what if
even that leap can't be made? There is an option.
Adoption. Sometimes you can look at others,
find someone who has what you want,
and borrow theirs. They won't mind.
Neither will God. The god you come to understand
by acting as if you do.
