"God" being the metaphor for good. Jesus was a good example and teacher... but the "spirit" of good (or God) is something that should be within everyone... the ability to know right from wrong, good from bad... and WANTING to do good for the sake of good.

I don't know why they would say it as needing to come unto the "Father"?? Just some convenient language for patriarchal societies, I'd guess.

I've had the cast off for three weeks now. It was very stiff and sore for awhile, and still is somewhat but getting better. I'm doing therapy exercises three times a day to get the strength and movement back. Not so easy when you are dealing with so many tendons that don't heal that fast. How about you and your foot/knee/ankle???
