I have no choice! God can't be replaced. And why should he be? My image is of a loving God. That is the God that I was taught about. I am not sure if his decisions are always be the loving kind, but maybe the learning kind instead. I don't think I have any choice in the matter. He is not going to be replaced. He is there and keeps proving it to me.

God is there.
He proves it to me at least weekly.
The great decision maker.

He proved it to me again last week when he zapped my friend up into heaven. The autopsy found nothing.

She was so fun and friendly and nearly perfect. I knew the day that she forgave me, for some grudge that she held against me, was the day she would go to heaven. This is because I could find no other flaw in her character whatsoever, except that she seemed to hold a gripe against me. Well, I was right. She started to notice that she might be wrong about feelings towards me. I could see a change in her the last time our friends go together. She called me this weekend, and at that moment was zapped into heaven. I never even had a chance to talk to her; instant zap. I know this sounds arogant on my part, but truly, I don't care whether she had a gripe or not, that was just the only flaw that I thought she might have to overcome. And she did! As pretty as an angel and kind too, I think she earned her wings.

I love my friend and know she is in heaven now, with a loving God. He loved her so much, that he needed her in heaven.

I am married. This is a friendship only that I am talking about. And I do not feel that I am as caring a person as she is, though I try my very best. God has not decided that I am worthy yet. He has given me a gift to see into the future, know what people around me are thinking and feeling, and to communicate with ESP, which I thank him for. I always know what someone is going to tell me, before they actually do. It comes in handy sometimes, and is inconvenient at other times. I am pretty sure that it was God who gave me this gift. Why would I want to replace him? There is much more to this story, but I'll save the angel visitations for another post. I think I may have scared you enough already.

Yes, there is a God, and God may be more than we bargained for, but replacing him? I don't think you should go that route.
