Congratulations, Amanda!
God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are definitely 3 distinct personalities. The Father Almighty, human Son, and the Spirit that helped Mary conceive without a human partner. Cool!
Here's the Catholic prayer that's said on the crucifix at the beginning of the Rosary:
I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Creator of Heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended into hell,
on the third day He rose again
and is seated at the right hand of the Father,
from thence He shall judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
in the Holy Catholic Church,
in the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen.

I completely understand your not being associated with any church/religion, because churches and religions are also very distinct and put their own stamp upon their way of doing things.
Any new poetry recently?
