"Beloved One True God,

sent so many of Your children

"They just aren't getting it," they're saying to each other. "What are we going to do about all this arguing? That's not what we were trying to do at all!"

But in all seriousness I haven't converted to Hinduism. I don't see the need. In fact, I refuse to belong to any one religion because after a while, the ones that want you to "convert" start asking you to give up all the others. I'm not giving up Ganesha. But I'm not giving up Jesus either. Or Mary or Archangel Michael or the Buddha or Kwan Yin for that matter.

For those who are unfamiliar with the Hindu gods, Ganesha is the elephant-headed god of overcoming obstacles. He also happens to be the patron god of writers. Apparently writer's block has been around for quite some time.

Julia Carrick, chief executive of Walpole said: “This year’s award nominees represent some of the most exciting and dynamic companies in the luxury industry.

The real problem is this underlying attitude we hold to so tightly--this belief that one thing always has to be better than another. Why can't we accept the fact that everything has its place? "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven..." (Ecclesiastes 3:1),iPhone 5 Outlet Store. Well there's a purpose for every matter under heaven too. And it's time we made a little room in our minds--and in our hearts--for that idea.

The awards not only highlight the achievements of well established global luxury brands but help provide recognition for young emerging brands. We look forward to revealing the winners at the Banqueting House later this month.”

The winners of the ten awards, from the luxury brands trade body, will be announced November 19 at the Banqueting House, Whitehall, by British actor, Anthony Head.

to teach us to do in Your name."

I believe in the One True God, and I believe in all His vast and beautiful religions. I guess that makes me a pan-religious monotheist.

Well,and have something for everyone, I read a lot. Hinduism is the world's third largest religion, after Christianity and Islam,Wholesale iPhone 5, with over 800,000,000 followers,000 pairs of shoes in stock. The Vedas, The Ramayana, and The Mahabharata--including The Bhagavad Gita--are all available on Amazon.com.

in all Your myriad Divine Aspects,

as You have in Your Infinite Wisdom

If that sounds like a mouthful, you could call me a Christian Buddhist Hindu Gaian follower of the Tao.

Somehow I can't see the Great Masters of Earth all standing around in heaven arguing with each other. As far as I'm concerned, they're standing around together and shaking their heads in perplexity.

and without any errors of exception,

If you happen to know that I was born in New Jersey to Caucasian parents and that I am currently writing this blog from the heart of the Bible Belt, you might wonder what I'm doing praying to an elephant-headed Hindu god-slash-divine-aspect in the first place.

So here's a prayer for the world tonight, another prayer I wrote myself, and I offer it up to the Heavens in all earnestness:

Here's a little prayer I wrote myself that I like to offer up to Ganesha whenever I'm stuck on a writing project: "Beloved and Mighty Ganesha... I'm stuck... Please help me... Amen."

Amen.

Hey, if anyone in the Heavens is going to accept a minimalist prayer, it's Ganesha,iPhone 5 For Sale. Writer's bock is His Thing,Cheap iPhone 5. I'm sure he understands.

to learn to Love, Honor, and Cherish one another

If you're a writer, and you discover a god for overcoming writer's block, you file that information away, just in case. If you pray to that god and you start writing again, that's what's known as conversion.

I realize that a belief in multiple "gods" is considered sacrilegious by some,Georgina Whalley. Both Christians and Muslims, for example, are quite strict about their belief in the One True God. But these arguments have arisen more from semantics than from any underlying philosophical divide. Even if there is only One God, still there are many aspects of God--truth, justice, honor, integrity, trust, faith, joy, peace... Using the word "god" to depict the Hindu representations of the divine is really a misrepresentation of Hindu beliefs.

please help us all who walk the Earth

Hindus believe that all reality is One. There is only One God because there is only One Everything. So I'm perfectly happy to call Ganesha the divine aspect of Mighty Faith--just one of many aspects of the One True God--if that will keep us all on the same page.

I don't mention Judaism or Islam because I haven't yet felt called to study much about them, but I do believe in Moses and Abraham and I do believe that Muhammad was a True Prophet. I just don't see what all the fuss is about in refusing to "take sides."
