Hi Sharon,

Thank you for your second reply. I have no doubt that you are absolutely sincere in your belief. If it works for you, then perhaps it is the best for you. Yes, I will let you know if I ever convert to Christianity, but don't hold your breath! I have met three Christian ministers that have gone the other way -- to atheism. I guess they didn't have the benefit of your ardent persuasion ;-) !!

I ask you just one question, which I touched on in my last letter. Imagine yourself to have been born of a Jewish mother and father and to have been brought up to worship devoutly in the Jewish faith. Would you then be asking me to accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior? It is likely that someone has asked you something like this before, but think deeply about it. You may insist that Christianity is the only true faith. However, the Jews insist precisely the same with the same degree of conviction, and ditto for members of all other religions. Either all are mistaken but one, or all are mistaken period (my view).

At any rate, you are listening closely to the voice of your unconscious mind, which is likely to give you valid guidance in your creative pursuits, because the unconscious mind is the seat of creativity. My literary abilities, such as they are, leave much to be desired, but your writing suggests to me that you should also turn your attention to writing poetry.

Regards,

Tom
