With this tragedy and with each tragedy that our world faces, i.e. school shootings, Aaliyah's death, senseless killings, our mortality becomes a little more tangible for me.
Having been raised in the church and yes I do believe in God, I respect God's authority both in my life and over all lives whether or not people choose to believe in him.
Since last Tuesday's tragedy, I have not become more religious but I have become more focused on God's control and dominion.
To me religion is the belief in God and your SPIRITUALITY is the manifestation of a RELATIONSHIP with GOD. So have I become more spiritual and more focused on God and HIS will, yes I have.
