Answering to a Higher Power

Lots of surveys show us that most Americans consider themselves religious or at the very least, spiritual. They believe in a higher power, however they choose to define it.

I respect the right for others to have different beliefs than I do. I enjoy the discussions; I always learn something. Many years ago I was on a girl trip and we had some religious conversations. One of the ladies was Jewish. Another is a devout Christian. My favorite memory of that talk is when the Christian said to the Jewish person, "I'd just feel better if you'd believe in Jesus a little bit."

Of course, every time I refer to my responsibility to answer to a higher power, the husband thinks I am referring to him.
