Experimental new god to worship

[_Buffalo]

Okay, back from my first experiment.

It as was a little hard at first. I felt a little silly, praying on the toilet to Elvis. I've only ever prayed to the Mormon concept of God my entire life. But I forced myself to take it seriously (despite, you know, my location), and it was a good experience. I thanked Elvis for everything he did during his mortal ministry, for making so much good music and enriching our culture, and inspiring so many others to do the same. I asked that he help me to have a rockin' good time every day and to be true to the spirit of rock n' roll. I prayed to Elvis, and not knowing how to close exactly, I said "In Elvis' name, Amen." Maybe I should have closed in the name of Colonel Parker or Scotty Moore.

I honestly felt and still feel a bit of a spiritual high - you know, that feeling Mormons call The Spirit. I'll continue this experiment for a while and see where it leads. I didn't really expect to feel anything since it's all a little silly. Color me surprised!

Buffalo - you were gone forty minutes, I think you have a problem, go to the Doctor...

Hey, at least I came back. Can't say the same for The King. :o

You need some to "heart sell" tm your prayer experience. Try love me tender, or watching jailhouse rock or some such.

What I experienced was slightly different. I had all the usual signs that she was talking to me (peace, warmth, clarity of mind, even a deep sense of someone speaking to me), but in addition to that, I had felt a connection with a being that understood me better than the Bearded One.

Hey, welcome back Zeez! Glad you're here!

My experience was a more shallow. I just felt that chest-filling "spirit" feeling. I felt a bit elated, but not any deep connection. Of course, I've only tried it once so far.

Could you, given the...errr...circumstances, be mistaking relief for elation?

It's hard to gain a testimony of something if you can't help smelling a pile of crap.

Should doubt knock at your doorway, just say to those skeptical, disturbing, rebellious thoughts, I propose to stay with my faith, with the faith of my people in Graceland.
