Communion

During my time in recovery I have encountered a very powerful, loving, creative, force/power that I now call God, though the name does not matter. What does matter is that I am totally devoted to that force/power and seek its guidance in all of my actions. I am reminded of the comments of Borg about the historical Jesus; "Finally, the image of Jesus as a spirit person has implications for how we think of the Christian life. It shifts the focus of the Christian life from believing in Jesus or believing in God to being in relationship to the same spirit that Jesus knew. It is the claim that I emphasized at the end of chapter 1 and that will emerge yet again in this book: that the Christian life moves beyond believing in God to being in relationship to God." I have no idea if I am Christian or not, I do know that it makes little or no difference and that having that relationship makes all the difference.
