	As an ex-Christian, it sounds to me that your God is telling you
the same thing some of us have been saying:  "Don't try so hard, don't be
so desperate."

	As an EX-christian, of course, I'm inclined to think it's some
part of yourself (whatever passes for a "subconscious" these days).

	So (in the words of another netter) "Sit back, relax, have a
home-brew" (or whatever your recreational drug-of-choice is).
