Hello friends! (who was the old guy that used to do the commercial and said that?)
Anyways, not sure if I ever shared this story with you but it came to mind today.... Hope not to offend...
My husband and I got really involved in our church a few years back. Raised catholic, always believed in God. Changed religion to episcopal and learned how to have a "personal relationship w/God". Anyways, heard that all you had to do is ask and God would open the door. I thought, wow, just ask huh?  Funny thing, we went to a retreat off in the woods somewhere. Hubby and are are walking down this random path and I looked down...
There on the ground was an old brass doorknob!!!  I was utterly amazed! Here was a sign that all's I REALLY had to do was ask !!! The door would be opened!!!
Still gives me goosbumps and still have the knob!!  Havent attended church in a while but a seed was planted!! FOR ME, once I admitted I was powerless I had a HP to turn to! We all have our own ideas about our HP, but whatever works for each and everyone of us is whats important and I love that none of us will judge the other for their beliefs!!
Thanks, Lani

It is fantastic to have such a tangible symbol to remind to you of the choices you have.  Wow!

((((Lani))))

I had to chuckle when I saw the subject line "Doorknob"

Reminded me of $10K Pyramid Blooper - remember that game show?

The word was "deer"..... the clue given was "doe"..... the answer "knob"


LOLOLOLOLOLOL


Seriously - What a beautiful share. Thank you.
