I can't imagine how sharing an experience that obviously meant so much to you could possibly be offensive to anyone. In fact, thank you for sharing it.

I definitely think sometimes that I just don't have the gift for prayer, and that may be why my view of it is different from yours. I am just so left brained and rational, that I often reduce spirituality to logic and am lacking in the capability for more mystical (I'm not sure if that is the right word) experiences. I am in a Sunday School class mostly filled with women who pray on a regular basis and share freely their intimate relationships with God through the Holy Spirit. I usually stare rather blankly, because that just isn't my experience. I really don't think I have that gift. But I see the happiness of the women who do, and I am glad for them.
