Do you ever go through a phase where everything you think about, read about or talk about is about one thing? It just seems to be everywhere........at work, at the grocery store, on the news......or just on tv in general.
Well, that is what is going on with me right now. My "phase" is religion right now. I guess "phase" isn't really the right word, it's more than a phase, but it just seems to be what's on my mind now.
Maybe I should have posted this blog first for some background on all the other blogs, but didn't......
I was "brought up" Christian. Though no particular denomination. My mom's family are Methodist and my dad's family are Southern Baptist. Though I gave up going to Church at an early age, we would go with the grandparents when we visited. I never understood church or religion. It just never made sense to me. All these questions I had that no one could answer....something just didn't add up. And on top of that, to be threatened with Hell for any one of the numerous "sins" seemed petty to me. But as the years passed I just never really gave it much more thought. Sure, I believed in God.......but thought "I don't need to go to church to "prove" myself to God, he knows I believe, and he certainly knows if I'm a "good" person.....that's all that matters.......that was the beginning of my "journey".
Stay tuned for more................

I think there are many of us that go through this 'phase' :) Mine really kicked off after finding other people with similar questions that I had. I tell people it's not so much a phase as it is a journey hehe..
It is more of a journey......an enlightening one....
