The Law of Attraction is the context...

I wrote this a while back, and things posted in the past day or two, particularly in Julia's blog about secrets, http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Quirkyalone1026/ brought it back to mind.

About this Blog

I've been asking the Universe to explain itself to me since I was about 11 years old. I asked specifically how to reconcile God with Science. Now and then, I seem to tune in on an answer. All that I write here represents not Truth, but what I believe to be true.I have my reasons, and I like to believe, my reason. ///Everything of my own words and/or pictures that I post on Blogit is copyright by CLRedding 1972-present, all rights reserved.///
