Do you know what love is? It feels like that, only
more so.

It manifests when I realized and accepted that God is
in control, and I began to recognize and appreciate all
the times He has blessed my life -- and the way He has
proven to me that He is real, and He answers my prayers.

And you think I'm a narcissist! Sheesh, incredible!

God is not a fantasy character. I'm sorry for you
that you don't know the truth.

Understand what? That you don't believe in God? I
can understand that. I've mentioned more than once
on this group that I went through a time in my life
when I had a lot of doubts about the existence of
God. I asked for a sign, and it didn't happen right
away -- but when it did happen, there is no doubt
in my mind that God exists.

You're repeating yourself. See my response above.
