Note on ESA's respect for all religions: In an age of political correctness we sometimes get caught up in the moment and lose site of the bigger picture. It doesn't matter what God you worship in this world, this God is the central focal point of your daily life if you are a religious person. ESA is a non-denominational organization and we honor all religious faiths. Many in this organization (Christian - Hebrew - and/or Muslem) worship the same God. Often times the symbols we utilize will be of the Christain faith but we do keep our cememonies inclusive to all faiths. We even display an "ALL FAITHS" flag in our flag ceremonies. A person of any faith can feel welcome in ESA. We are also a very patriotic group.

THE MYSTERY OF LIFE

We walk in a world that is strange and unknown
And in the midst of the crowd we still feel alone,

We question our purpose, our part and our place
In this vast land of mystery suspended in space,

We probe and explore and try hard to explain
The tumult of thoughts that our minds entertain...

But all of our probings and complex explanations
Of man's inner feelings and fears and frustrations

Still leaves us engulfed in the "mystery of life"
With all of its struggles and suffering and strife,

Unable to fathom what tomorrow will bring-
But there is one truth to which we can cling,

For while life's mystery we can't understand
The "great giver of Life" is holding our hand

And safe in His care there is no need for seeing
For "in Him we live and move and have our being."
by Helen Steiner Rice
