"The greater the faith, the greater the result."
--Fools Crow, LAKOTA

The Creator designed us to act on faith. We are able to do this by holding firm to our beliefs. If we believe something and if we don't want the belief to change, we need to add the power of the Great Spirit to this belief. We must always have the spiritual added to our beliefs. If we don't add the Spirit, then we may very well change our minds during the first time we are tested. Each time we are tested and we don't change our minds, we get stronger. The wind may blow on the red willow trees bending them and causing the roots to grow deeper. The more the wind bends the tree, the bigger, stronger and deeper the roots grow. We should be happy that we are tested. It's the Creator's way of making us have greater faith for greater results.

Great Mystery, Grandfather, I know if I am tested today that I can count on You to give me the courage to get to the other side. On the other side of every test is the reward of strength. Make me strong.

This is nice Doug.

Yeah.... I have to bend it a bit, like with Jim's seance quote, but one beautiful thing about life is that it's all relative, and that there's a truth to interconnectedness that can't be denied. I feel fortunate in that I don't discount the existence of a Great Spirit one way or another. (Oh, that hippie song "Spirit in the Sky" just popped in my head, lol.)

Sooooo.... are you the Great Spirit of SR, or is Morning Glory?

I think I know.

Love,
Autumn
