Great input Athena I find all especially true although some will radiate God more in their expressions, actions, devotions, and service! I am fortunate to be in a spiritual community, but feel a little sad because I am unable to participate in that as much as the others right now, but am recovering from day to day and will be back to my usual self I hope before too much longer!
