It really is 'OK'... and it surely does add a new dimension to our daily lives! Thanks for sharing. George, I like the perspective of giving ourselves ‘permission’ to have a relationship with God.

I especially enjoy the focus in point #2. I spent parts of three summers in Greece as a teen on retreats created by the Greek Orthodox Church here in North America. I learned from young priests and seminarians there *how* to give myself permission to have a personal relationship with God. Sometimes it is simple as viewing Life-with-a-capital-L in the context of God and things bigger than man. But over the years, I've learned that I have the most peace in my life when I acknowledge God's presence throughout my day. When I talk with lay folks sometimes, I learn they haven't given themselves permission to do so even though every member of the clergy says "Talk to Him, invite Him into your life. It's okay, really!" And it really is okay and fun and exhilarating to do so. Nicely put here today, Pastor Adrian. I enjoyed this blog very much, Pastor. I especially enjoy the focus in point #2.

Sometimes it is simple as viewing Life-with-a-capital-L in the context of God and things bigger than man. But over the years, I’ve learned that I have the most peace in my life when I acknowledge God’s presence throughout my day.

When I talk with lay folks sometimes, I learn they haven’t given themselves permission to do so even though every member of the clergy says “Talk to Him, invite Him into your life. It’s okay, really!”

And it really is okay and fun and exhilarating to do so.

Nicely put here today, Pastor Adrian.
