Belief and Doubt

“I am doomed to remember a boy with a wrecked voice—not because of his voice, or because he was the smallest person I ever knew, or even because he was the instrument of my mother’s death, but because he is the reason I believe in God; I am a Christian because of Owen Meany.” – John Irving

Carl Jung, when asked if he believed in God now – “Now Carl Jung, when asked if he believed in God now – “Now? Difficult to answer. I know. I don’t need to believe, I know.”

Jesus breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”

“God formed a human from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the human became a living being.” – Genesis 2:7

Inhale – Yah Exhale – weh

May you practice resurrection with every breath you take.
