what if I don't believe in God and the Divine is for Fortune Tellers?

[Guest guest]

Hmmm, I am sure there must be a word that makes everybody happy, yes?

 

Chrism often uses " divinity " . That could work for me, even though it

sounds like a university program ;-)

Hehe, I know Selena, but I think of fortune tellers when chrism says

it too. LOL! They are all just words and the " all that is " cannot be

really known by any word spoken. Is mho only. Divine reminds me of

fortune tellers because they call themselves Divine Sara or whatever

their name is in their advertisements. LOL! No biggy, I just sort of

got tickled at how different ones struggle over this word or that and

thought I was just throw that into the pot. Didn't mean it to

offend anyone.

 

Love

Linda
