  • I am a Christian.

    Hey everyone. Some of you already knew that I was going through a dark time of questioning and was even an agnostic for a while. After really thinking about what I do know and having some providential things happen, I would like to say that I am a Christian and will remain that way. Thank you all for praying for me.

    I spoke with my priest and he said that since I didn't join another religion that I need to come to confession and don't need to be rechrismated. I will do that soon.
    "Concentrate on what you have to do. Fix your eyes on it. Remind yourself that your task is to be a good human being; remind yourself what nature demands of people. Then do it, without hesitation, and speak the truth as you see it. But with kindness. With humility. Without hypocrisy."
    -Marcus Aurelius

    So glad to hear this! I was wondering how things were going, thanks for checking in.

Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

      Awesome news! I thank God for your decision. I just want you to know that there will probably be future challenges to your faith, but I have found them easier and easier to defeat, I pray you do to.

              I hope (and believe) you will find that your time of difficulty has given you more strength and confidence in God.

                  Great news! Real faith begins when it is tested. Questioning can be very good and healthy in my experience. God wants us to know him and love him ever more deeply and confidently and that often comes about through some forms of suffering or dark night of the soul.

                              I KNEW somebody would make the false assumption that the fourth item was directly connected to the first.

                              When I cook Chicken Diablo, there's bacon all around, and nobody thinks bacon comes from CHICKEN!
