Laura, I love how you brought this back to the importance of an authentic, clean conscience over rigid, abstract doctrines. It’s such a grounding way to look at faith.It made me think about the blueprint Jesus actually left us in the Lord’s Prayer. Before asking for anything else, it immediately steers us toward seeking forgiveness and clearing our debts. It frames spiritual life not as a ladder of high theology, but as a daily act of inner house-cleaning to keep our conscience clear.
Dear Catherine, thank you -- as always, you got it! But it took way too long to write, exhausting. I went to bed wondering if worth it. But it seems people are pleased despite the difficulty of the topic, and willing to seek truth.

To define that is a bit like trying to define the scene of a country side. You know it when you see it; but defining it is quite another matter.
