Introduction
Time to get back at it. It’s been a couple of months since my last Q due to a stubborn knee. That issue is resolved so time to give back again and Q. I’ve never led a pearls on a string and I wanted to give it a try.

Circle of Trust
We reflected on the First Commandment (I am the Lord thy God; thou shalt not have strange gods before Me.). It’s easy to interpret this as a strict edict, and many do. This can create a sense that all other Gods (or other religions) are unacceptable, lesser, or even sinful.
I recently heard a different interpretation of the First Commandment. Maybe it means that if you do not find your God – whatever that is (God, nature, love, country, anything), then everything is potentially God (greed, your lust, your envy, your gluttony, social media, porn, on and on).
Guess who said that? Russell Brand! If you haven’t seen anything from him lately, it’s worth it. He’s a former addict who has gotten right.
