When I met you as our vet I felt a sense of connection, as if we might be good friends. Religiously I describe myself jokingly as "open-minded and optimistic" because believe that if there is one supreme deity it is absurd to think that there is only one path to understanding or to "life after death" as described by Christians. I grew up in the Lutheran church and began having difficulty reciting the Apostles' Creed in high school. I raised my sons in the Lutheran church but taught them (Seth, at least) to be open to all ideas and that we simply live within a mostly Christian culture and that the stories heard at church were mostly to prompt reflection about your own choices and behavior in society. I am way off-track, as usual, from what I started out to say about a connection! I found this website when I was looking online for your office phone number. I was drawn to read ONE past reflection and it happened to be yours! Do you believe that connections between people are more than coincidence and might be somehow guided?
