There is a comfort in rituals, and rituals provide a framework for stability when you are trying to find answers. – Deborah Norville

It’s 12  : 45 PM on day 1217 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  brush my teeth,  pray, read 2 Chronicles 20,  publish my Disability of the Day feature,  publish my Kid of the Week feature,    feed myself egg with bread for breakfast, go to church and listen to music – currently listening to Hunter Hayes I just love his music it’s so heartfelt and beautiful.  

This morning in a sermon entitled “The Blessing of Ritual” our reverend said religious rituals root us, connect us and sustains us in our spiritual lives I can attest to that every morning I pray, read the Bible and make an entry in my gratitude journal doing these things centres me and gives me peace in a way that I can’t fully explain.  Do religious rituals make you feel connected to a higher power?
