UNDATED _ Here’s an excerpt from “Conversations With God” (Putnam), a best seller by former Oregon talk show host Neale Donald Walsch. The responses Walsch attributes to God are in boldface.

I’ve searched for the path to God all my life _ I know you have _


_ and now I’ve found it and I can’t believe it. It feels like I’m sitting here, writing this to myself.

You are.

That does not seem like what a communication with God would feel like.

You want bells and whistles? I’ll see what I can arrange.

You know, don’t You, that there are those who will call this entire book a blasphemy. Especially if You keep showing up as such a wise guy.

Let me explain something to you. You have this idea that God shows up in only one way in life. That’s a very dangerous idea.

It stops you from seeing God all over. If you think God looks only one way or sounds only one way or is only one way, you’re going to look right past Me night and day. You’ll spend your whole life looking for God and not finding Her.

Because you’re looking for a Him. I use this as an example.

It has been said that if you don’t see God in the profane and the profound, you’re missing half the story. That is a great Truth.

God is in the sadness and the laughter, in the bitter and the sweet. There is a divine purpose behind everything _ and therefore a divine presence in everything.
