1. I sometimes prayed to my ancestors in bad times. Sometimes

at a religious service I will pray because that is how my ancestors prayed every Sunday and I went to Sunday school in the Presbyterian Church. When I joined Alcoholics Anonymous, I handed my power over alcohol to God. I struggled with that word God. I didn't struggle quitting alcohol. It was time. I am agnostic. Something amazing happened to start the ancestors. Or maybe it continues to happen. I don't have all the answers. Jesus was a very cool guy for his time. I just don't buy the Biblical miracles. I just know there are miracles that led to the existence of space, time and ancestors.
