August
Monthly Challenge
I have come to
find that God means a lot of different things to a lot of different people.
This month’s challenge is your opportunity to put forth your feelings of
what the nature of God means to you. All faiths
and beliefs are welcome!
Are you a
believer in Christ? Perhaps you're a Goddess worshiper or Pagan. Do you see
the divine in Nature and the Universe? Perhaps you follow the path of Allah or
Buddhism. Maybe you're unsure of what you believe, but know there is something
out there
The
Rules
~Write
expressing what God or the Nature of God means to you or how it plays in your
life.
~All
entries can be in poetry form or short story form
~Three
entries per author.
***Intolerance
will not be tolerated. This is not a forum for ranting against or belittling
other religions that may be contrary to your own. Spirituality means different
things to different people and my hope is that this will be a place to learn
about and celebrate our religious and spiritual differences.***
