controversy

i just had a major overload of thoughts about the church that i have been working through for some time. i wrote it all down in my journal the other day and it felt very relieving and cleansing to get my thoughts on paper. i am trying to decide if i should even post them or not. they might be more appropriate for one-on-one conversation as to not be misinterpreted and offensive to an objective reader. :/

i am a critic but i am not bitter. i have been but i think i am over that now. i love the Lord more now than i did when my name was in the directory of a religious facility. i am growing up and learning how to take responsibility for what i believe on my own. some people i have seen just get mad and stop asking questions all together.

the key is to keep asking, keep searching, keep knocking. abandoning God does not make him disappear. and not being involved in a "church" does not mean you have abandoned God...

i have probably already opened a can of worms and should explain myself. of course, that is one of my faults...always thinking i must explain myself to people who's opinion should carry no weight whatsoever. more later...
