In my life I have found that people shy away and are a little afraid to state that they believe in GOD, almost as if it were a bad thing.

I would just like to say that I do believe in GOD and very much believe in the power of prayer.

My life has been enriched by my beliefs and am very happy to be a Religious personsmile

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Beautiful !
Especially poignant if you give it to someone you have become close to that you are unlikely to see again in this world.

Thanks Nonu.
My student was the Head of The Seventh Day Adventist Church : a man I have great respect for but whose religious views I do not hold.
As you say we are all different.
To return to the original topic he was very happy to be religious.
