Featured Comment by Margot E. ::: “Listening to the song “Defying Gravity” I begin to think that accepting my Higher Power is very like flying. Sometimes I make the mistake of trying to explain that which is inexplicable – the infinity which is, by definition, that which cannot be comprehended. If I cannot understand all there is of my Higher Power, how can I believe? Surely I can only believe that which I understand. And so, taking faith, I take a leap. My faith says I will be guided – not always given the results I expect. I am guaranteed lessons in this life and unconditional love.”
