I stumbled across your blog kind of b...Dear Bill... I stumbled across your blog kind of by accident. My mum has recently been diagnosed with ALS. I must say, I can relate to a lot of what you've said here. In many ways, I think I might be dealing with this whole situation better if I were a child again... I would have that unquestioning, divine hope and faith.. instead here I am, skeptical and wizened from all the things I know to be true. I have often though to myself, the hardest thing about this is going to be finding my faith. I search for it every day -- and yet even the search is plagued with self-doubts about the futility of searching. Does God exist? Can I find him? Is there any point looking for something that might not be there? <br /><br />With every "spiritual sign", I see a logical explanation. With every white feather I find, I can locate a pillow near by that it probably came from. A shooting star is a coincidence. A press release detailing a new breakthrough in ALS research, just another press release. <br /><br />It's very hard. I'm praying God will find me. Like you I don't know if I'm praying for the right things, in the right way, but it's all that I can do.<br /><br />Take care. You have a beautiful family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900365728825276878.post-10492835112567472812009-04-28T10:27:00.000-06:002009-04-28T10:27:00.000-06:00My goodness Bill, (I was going to say, "My God" - ...My goodness Bill, (I was going to say, "My God" - but somehow that didn't seem right after this post...) you are a fantastic writer and story teller!cynthiahttp://coloradoartstudio.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900365728825276878.post-42586514403810290952009-04-23T09:04:00.000-06:002009-04-23T09:04:00.000-06:00Bill - you are amazing and your words touch my hea...Bill - you are amazing and your words touch my heart. <br />Always with thoughts and prayers for you, Heidi and the girls.<br />SuzannaSuzannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07493311174705812855noreply@blogger.com
