While I totally respect and understand your father’s point of view, I’m of the mind that there is too much perfection in this world for the existence of what can only be deemed as miraculous, to have been something haphazard and unplanned. Of all the arguments for a higher power, nothing sways me to the degree of belief in its existence as this rationale does. I guess that by the same token, I also belief in the afterlife, a place for which this, our earthly life, is just an antechamber and practice. I can only hope like you that it is full of goodness and everything dear. What could be more perfect than that? Lovely post Kelcey. Touching, funny and thoughtful. As always, a Kelcey way of wrapping things up.

I’m with your Dad. ) I’m not sure why people think that not believing in a higher power automatically makes your life hopeless and/or depressing. This ‘earthly life’ is amazing and fulfilling and I know what a genetic lottery I won to even *exist.* I am loved by so many and I love them back. And, that is enough for this girl.

What a sweet, lovely post. I know… I know there’s a God, and when I explain it all, I look hopelessly stupid, so I try not say much to get the atheist all the ammunition they need.

Interesting though, I have read that most med students go into the field as atheist. After a few years as a doctor, they become believers.

There’s just no way to know for sure for sure but I’m about as sure as I can be that I’m going to be with the Lord when I pass on…and my loved ones too…I’m not sure I could face the world we live in right now without this hope!
Okay enough with the heavy…I’m pretty sure there’ll be sushi BUT no Project Runway…sorry lol. Oh and dogs! There have to be dogs!

With all due respect to Rachel, Jacki, Jessi, and Bitsy, none of us “know” what lies ahead; we simply have beliefs. My beliefs leave me not at all depressed or hopeless, in fact, just the opposite, with great calm, wonder, and pleasure at my infinitesimally small but immensely important (depending on how I choose to live my life) part in the absolute splendor and magnificence of the ongoing evolution of the universe and all of the life forms within it.

I have a tough time with that one too. I believe in God and consider myself a Christian, but there are many things about Christianity I can’t quite come to terms with. And I very much want to believe in an afterlife, the thought of there not being one terrifies me. At the same time I have a hard time swallowing the possibility that there could be one too.

Well some higher power was looking out for me and my piles of kid artwork that I cannot part with and helped me win the prize! Thanks Kelcey!

Believing the people I love are waiting for me in heaven is the only thing that keeps me going sometimes. Faith is our greatest source of strength, regardless of the specific religion… sometimes hope is the first step.

I loved this post.
