The Voice of God

The Grace of God: The Major General

I am not a church going person. I'm too sarcastic for organized religion. Intelligent design does not make sense to me. I like Buddhism a lot, but I'm too lazy to practice it. I think Jesus was a really cool guy, but as far as virgin birth goes, well, I'm not sold.

However, if you distill religion down into its basest denomination: belief, then I can be very devout. Some people believe they can hear the voice of God in music and I'll agree. I hear the voice of God through the horses.

Before you hit Unsubscribe, or label me a heretic, let me explain. In God's country you will usually find horses. If you own a horse or two or five, you will often need more money than God. When you have to say goodbye to them the final time, you will know God's will. See what I mean?

If you have a relationship with God, it might be guided by a pastor/priest/rabbi or other such spiritual leader. The horses are my spiritual leaders. All my greatest joys are as a result of their teaching. They carry me and my burdens of life with grace. I see a different world when I look at it in the reflection of their eyes. "When I bestride him, I soar."

[Wm. Shakespeare channeling the voice of God.]

Because I work so closely with horses, I can read them and sometimes even communicate with them. I open up my mind, heart and soul, ask the horses for help determining the solution and quite often, it comes. Sound crazy? "She's gone all Freaky Animal Communicator on us!" Imagine those words coming from your pastor/priest/rabbi/etc and replace 'God' for 'the horses'.

Teaching and training horses and their people is not a job to me. It is a calling. It is what I was born to do. It is not easy and God knows I'll never get rich doing it. But he also knows that is not why I do it. I'm not zealot material [ see paragraph one: too sarcastic & lazy], but I do my work religiously. There but for the grace of God go I.

I hope you can find the 'voice of God', however you define it, somewhere, today.

Kind Regards,

Michelle Blackler
