Hi All,
One of the purposes of this blog is to ask questions in a secure way, without being fearful of the consequences (i.e Internet anonymity) , be that on any subject, but I guess religion in particular. So, what is on your heart today? If you met G-d and could ask him anything, but it could only be one question, what would it be and why ?
I'll start off with mine. Why did my mum and dad have to pass away? And the reason I ask this question : being an orphan I never got to know them and they me. It breaks me up, always, never being able to have that experience. Which is why, despite the bricks I have thrown at me for 'twisting the word of G-d to suit my sexuality' etc, I am a strong advocate of the family, my community and G-d . Incidentally, we sang this the Psalm -121- on Tuesday night at the start of Shavous, which has always meant a lot to me, whenever I've needed some form of spiritual uplifting :
"Esa einai el heharim,
me'ayin me'ayin yavo ezri
Esa einai el heharim,
me'ayin me'ayin yavo ezri
Ezri me'im Hashem,
Oseh shamayim va'aretz
Ezri me'im Hashem,
Oseh shamayim va'aretz"
"I will lift up my eyes to the mountains.
From where does my help come?
I will lift up my eyes to the mountains.
From where does my help come?
My help comes from the L-rd,
who made heaven and earth.
My help comes from the L-rd,
who made heaven and earth."
Over to you guys now,
Love, H :)
