Talking to myself....

I saw a quote today that said, "There are no atheists in death."  It really made me think.  I guess growing up Catholic, going to church all the time, going to Catholic school for the greater part of my life, it was never a thought that there was not a God.  I can't imagine not thinking there was one, I guess I would feel lost?  I don't know.  I asked my husband what his thoughts were because he really hasn't stuck to one religion too seriously his whole life, he feels that in the end everybody is just trying to get to the same place.  I think that's true as well but I cannot imagine a life of not praying or going to church.  Geez, even when I'm not praying I'm talking to God.  All day everyday, I'm talking to him, and I realize it probably just looks like I'm a mumbling lunatic but, I guess that's my way of feeling better about things that maybe scare me, or just things I'm unsure of.  Who do people who don't believe in God talk to?  Do they just hold it in.. I think I'd go crazy!  It made me laugh when I thought about how over the years my prayers went from asking God to help me pass a test to "Please God watch over my babies......"  In the end, I guess whether you are praying or just telling God your problems and asking for help, its a conversation with somebody you trust infinitely, and I cant imagine my life without those conversations. :)
