Today...a beautiful one!

Today was a beautiful day...warm day in the middle of winter season (temp up to low 70s), good workout, strong swim..more over, afloat on water lying down facing up the blue sky with unmoved body -- yes, I can semi-sleep on water without drowning...I'll let you think how can I make it happen.

Several snap moments with friends and acquaintances at the gym happened today. All the short conversations I had with them were very positive. Anabel, a lady on her senior age in her walker said to me "I do it one at a time day by day" and she pointed up and said, "I am going there." She continued, "I used to be on a wheelchair now I am on a walker, next I will be walking straight...and positive thinking." What a great determination and big faith this woman has. I replied that I do it one at a time, too, and I am going to heaven as well. Wow! My Lord always have a way form me to encounter people who are "godly." It was the first conversation I had with this woman, but I've seen her at the gym many times. She is a very gentle person to speak with. She looks like a kind-hearted person, too.

Another snap moment today was a conversation with Allan (not his real name), another senior person at the gym whom I had several conversations before. He has been talking about the "devine" force that he has been experiencing since last year. I've questioned quite a few times his philosophy of belief. Of course, just a silent mind inquiry for myself. He is one individual who makes the divine power he has been experiencing a great deal...I cannot comprehend what divine power he has, but he expresses his positivity in his life each time he talks about it. There was a time when he shared with me his experience when he was in deep depression and he said that through the inner divine power he was able to overcome it. I am a christian, I surely believe on the power of God which I consider divine. Is the divine power he has the same as my God? Hmmm, its so hard to look at this situation since there are so my beliefs and life philosophies out there. Why not just have one? Which one? Of course my faith... it's only because its mine. One word that he said today was "love" and I was impressed with what he said about it, "Love is the greatest of all" (he meant loving other people), he even said that it is in the Bible, then my mind started thinking...He believes in Bible!

In my own perspective, at least he is not agnostic!
