At church this past weekend the Sermon was about finding god in everyday life and not in miracles which are suggested in the scriptures. Our pastor (who I respect tremendously) talked about a moment in his life, it was a mere few seconds as a teen when he knew everything was going to be all right.
I am still pretty much a non believer, but there are certain moments in life that one must get those thru spiritual connections. This past weekend i experienced some moments of enlightenment when running my first marathon in tow years. the sun trickling through the trees in a Forest Park as I crested a hill only to see my wife at he aid station encouraging every runner that comes by. The nature and the body experience of running was something to behold as was the kindness of my wife when I knew she wanted to be out there running. It is moments such as this when i do not get the spiritual connection but rather in a world as beautiful as this I am convinced there is a dependence on a higher being of some form in a world that can be than beautiful than expected.
And I paraphrase in sorts as Karl Sagan echoed the almost the some words before his death, that religion and science can co-exist and co-exist rather peacefully.
