The power of … prayer?

I haven’t prayed in a long time. I miss it. Maybe not even ’cause I believe that there’s someone(s) watching over me and listening, but because I believe there is. It’s interesting how the oddest things will make me wish I had a deeper relationship with the gods. I think part of it is because I never really stopped thinking about the gods as God…
I’m having a hard time reconciling my belief in God with my strong belief in God As Woman. I think that it would be really hard for me to believe in any gods if I didn’t think that they (or, some part of him/her) was female, since I am female. I can’t relate to something I’m not, at least not easily, and I think that one’s base connection with God should be easy–and then the relationship and complexities can grow from there. Part of the reason I have trouble with both the Witch culture and the Christian culture is because I have taken aspects of my belief system from each and it’s hard to explain my belief of some parts of one culture to people following the main paths of the other. I feel alone. I know I’m not alone, per’se, but even Bennett doesn’t look too highly on my commitment to God. Most of my Christian friends think that I don’t have a strong enough relationship with (their) God, and my Wiccan friends wonder why I don’t Call Down the Moon and praise the Lady for all that she’s given us. I DO do those things, but I can’t really explain it to either group since many Christians would consider it heretical and many Wiccans would consider it old-fashioned.
I’m not even sure where I’m going with this. More later, maybe.

This is the first time I’ve ever used any kind of video editing equipment for blog advertising… or anything at all. My computer at home doesn’t actually have a camera (or a microphone, for that matter) so I did this at work… and let me tell you–it was work! I know it’s not much, but it really DID look a LOT better before I converted it to a web-compatible format (stupid QuickTime!)… I used only the Mac, it’s built-in camera, iMovie, and my imagination. It’s not bad for the first try, right?
