After all, Jesus told Peter in the Gospel of Matthew, "You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church." This was a play on words, since Peter's name means "rock." <br /><br />I searched for Virgin Mary sightings on Google and most of them require a stretch of the imagination, but <a href="http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/vmary.htm" rel="nofollow">this article</a> was fascinating.ebrarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18407474157725325549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88510949671163422.post-45685985989711915822009-07-29T20:06:24.722-06:002009-07-29T20:06:24.722-06:00The older I get the more I know religion is man-ma...The older I get the more I know religion is man-made and spirituality is God-made.

If a rock in the middle of no where gives someone a special feeling or vision, what is the harm. My Grandfather was half Indian, born in Oklahoma. I wonder what he would say about this.<br /> Hugs, MaryShopgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16300376153887292794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88510949671163422.post-89067191154566283882009-07-28T19:04:00.832-06:002009-07-28T19:04:00.832-06:00I believe it doesn't matter what religion some...I believe it doesn't matter what religion someone practices, or what they believe as long as they are kind, law biding, and like you say, take care of the earth.

Leaving it up to the humans to decide if it's divine or just a rock or a line drawn. I don't believe in coincidence though so whether it's Mary or Shiva, if it causes people to get in touch with the divine spirit within themselves then it's good.xx Writing Rock is sacred. Wish I could get rubbings from that.gmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04879507440579599549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88510949671163422.post-15502125123642695512009-07-28T07:36:22.999-06:002009-07-28T07:36:22.999-06:00Interesting post - good fodder for thought, that&#...Interesting post - good fodder for thought, that's for sure.

I need to remind myself that it isn't about the house of worship or the rituals but about the mind and the heart.grendelskinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01953402811976296237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88510949671163422.post-63953349986305006672009-07-28T01:38:24.493-06:002009-07-28T01:38:24.493-06:00It's a pity that the white people couldn't...It's a pity that the white people couldn't leave the smaller Writing Rock where it was originally, I'm afraid my opinion of the way the Native American peoples were treated isn't suitable for writing on here! As for the rock near your old home - well, I think some people have good imaginations. Light and shadow can make all kinds of things appear at certain times of day or in certain weather conditions.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.com
