If God Had a Facebook Page? I’ve been wondering for months now what would it look like if God had a Facebook page. After those grueling months, I found out what to do. I will give him one. I won’t have to wonder about pictures, songs, obscenities, bad attitudes, misery, pain, ego or anything negative. Now I wondered a few more days how would I create it? Should my photos contain some of the great teachers, versions of God people have, beliefs, statues, monuments, prayers, prayer rituals, death rituals or petitions and prayers. How was I going to do this? Finally I woke up this morning and was looking at an old magazine. There it was staring at me. My theme. I had wanted to join and go on a retreat in California, but I couldn’t afford it. Two years ago I looked around searching for a retreat and I couldn’t find one. Well known people belong to the organizations I wanted to join. The one in California was having a retreat, that’s almost 3,000 miles from me. I forget the price, but I would have to pay for the seminars or retreat, pay for a flight and find a hotel. There was no way I would ever get there, so I kind of moped and sat around feeling sorry for myself. I have little retreats here in my room; actually they are meditations, and two that took me to wonderful places I can’t explain. I’ve been putting my writing before my spiritual growth lately. I have been successful in my creativity. Lately it has been pouring in and I’m losing touch with my soul. I have my first book now on Amazon, but it is only an eBook. Next week it can be purchased as a paperback. I’m not here to tell you about it or even ask that you buy it. I spent so much time doing research for it in two areas that it consumed my every day. It will be a success because God gifted me with a good subject to write about that will actually go global in a few weeks. I’ve spent a great deal of time looking for free advertising and what else I can do to put this book over the top. I began to get frazzled and my desk and mind were cluttered for months. Something was missing. All the time and effort I put into this book consumed me. I began to get very tired and knew I wanted to give God a Facebook page, but I kept putting the book before God. It’s a wonder he is going to see me right through to success, although I wasn’t doing his work (his Facebook page). The answer came as I looked through this prestigious magazine. I said to my sister several times, why they don’t have a “poor man’s retreat? I struggled with this question for a couple of years and the answer was sitting right there on my desk looking at me. I finally got it. I will make a Facebook called “The Poor Persons’ Retreat”. I could invite people and go there myself just for inspiration, along with my meditations. In my imagination it would be an actual place I could go to meet and talk, but especially listen to God. I’m tossed about a Facebook page or a MySpace page, but MySpace is a lot of people advertising their gifts and products. I then thought about a yahoo forum type of page where there would be separate lines for people to say whatever they came there to say. No one would be allowed to answer another’s comment, unless asked to do so, because all comments would be whispered to God in the written word. It would be a hidden place for people to come, perhaps to read other’s written word for inspiration. Yes, I liked the idea. Tomorrow morning I will create a “Poor Persons’ Retreat”. That would mean for men and women. They could stay there for as long as time allowed. Seeing something makes it more real I already have my introduction in my memory and just one picture that will suffice for all men’s view of God. One would have a place to actually go to be alone with God. Sometimes when I want to be alone with God, my cluttered room doesn’t always seem fitting. I too, would have a place to go, mentally, physically and spiritually. The only thing I will write is how to do a simple meditation, and then perhaps graduate them to a deeper meditation. I want to teach them, even though they wanted to write something to God, that it sometimes is more fruitful to listen. Lately, I have been half-listening. That’s why my book came before “The Poor Persons’ Retreat”. I feel home again and I can feel peace surrounding me. Even though I am working on a sequel to my book, a fifty page personalized book for my sister’s grandson, and a fifty page personalized book for my great granddaughter, they will no longer take preference over my spiritual growth. I felt the emptiness and thought it was because I felt so lonely dreaming up ideas for my book alone, with no one to give me any insight. It doesn’t matter anymore. I am continuing my spiritual journey as I write my books. God will be with me and I will make the time to visit him. I will inform you when my Poor Persons’ Retreat is available. Peace, Love but above all I wish you Laughter because without the ability to laugh now and then there is no peace or love. I personally believe laughter is one of the greatest gifts God has bestowed on us. I sure do enough of it and when I do, it makes me feel good and peaceful and loving. Here is my version of God’s Facebook Page. You can leave your thoughts and be unknown. I have chosen several songs to help you settle your mind from material things, worries and problems. uk.groups.yahoo/group/HiddenSilentSpiritualRetreat/
