I know there will be many tributes and memorials today. As I think back to this day, I can’t help but feel a little of what I felt on that day. I remember getting a call very early in the morning, and knowing it wasn’t good. Of course, I had no idea how ‘not good’ [...]

If I knew then what I know now I would have:
Questioned the church leaders a LOT more, and made them actually answer my questions
Stopped being friends with people just because I thought I had to be (even though I didn’t like them!)
Told that church going asshole that he WAS an ASSHOLE
Dated that nice non-christian guy [...]

I’ve been traveling, and had a very good dinner last night with a good friend. We started talking about spirituality, and what each of us believes, and it was a very interesting conversation.

Well… it was fun while it lasted over at my first domain, but I’ve decided I want the freedom that having my own domain will give. So, I bit the bullet, bought my url and got a hosting service. The only real downside is that I cannot direct my old domain to this one (can”t [...]

So, I found my old NIV Bible (that cost around $100, by the way… ), and in it, I found some old pieces of paper that I had written various notes on. One is a note that we were told to write in a Bible Study. It was a ‘Commitment note’ that you were to [...]

During my high school years, and even early college, I hung on to my religion and church tightly. I did everything they asked of me and more. I was the poster child for what a person should do to gain entry into heaven, and more importantly, gain acceptance by church going peers. [...]

I know I’ve taken a bit of a hiatus. I am back, and ready to write more frequently. I just stumbled upon a blog, Unreasonable Faith, and have enjoyed scratching the surface of it. The person writing it has a very similar background as mine, and it is a refreshing blog that has well thought [...]
