reasons i believe

i've been thinking about this a lot... so here they are:

- there are things in this world that are beyond my control and it comforts me to know that those things are in the hands of a God who loves me unconditionally
- the goodness within people has to come from somewhere
- i was taught good values and good morals by my parents and more recently through the lessons taught at mass. it just took me a while to listen... to really listen to what's being said.
- people with good hearts have the characteristics that we learn about at mass
- there are things i hear at mass that i don't always agree with, but feel that i need to hear in order to understand my own beliefs
- He did give us free will, which i think is why sometimes bad things happen to good people. but on some levels we do have the power to change things, and i think spreading good vibes is a good place to start.
