eople ask me how I keep going forward on my uncertain journey. I say my faith makes it possible. "Who's your God?" they want to know. In response, I offer my Umbrella Theory of Spirituality:

The way I see it, all religions represent the different colored panels of an umbrella. Each one is separate and, ultimately leads to the top of the umbrella, or God.

Now you go up any one of those spokes and you'll find God.  Or, you can choose to go around the umbrella completely and you'll find God, too. You might get a little lost or a little wet, but you will find your own way.

GOD IS THE SUN
Music & lyrics by Sandi Kimmel

When you're weary of the darkness
And you're ready for the light
All you have to do is look around you.

CHORUS:
God is the sun, God is the moon
God is the summer that's over too soon.
God is the sky, God is the sea
God is the light within you and me.

There's the light in the eyes of a child
The light in each stranger you meet
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
When the cycle of life is complete.

God is the sun, God is the moon
God is the summer that's over too soon.
God is the sky, God is the sea
God is the light within you and me.

There's a miracle each moment
That's unfolding just for you
All you have to do is look around you.

God is the sun, God is the moon
God is the summer that's over too soon.
God is the sky, God is the sea
God is the light within you and me.

It's the miracle each new morning
The miracle winter to spring
There's a miracle waiting to happen
At the heart of most everything.

God is the sun, God is the moon
God is the summer that's over too soon.
God is the sky, God is the sea
God is the light within you and me. (2X)
