long weekend....
it was easter weekend, which means good friday, which means three day weekend. given that i was so ill last week, i debated going into the office on friday, for about 5 minutes and then remembered how difficult it's been there, and i decided to take the day off. easter weekend always brings me back to being a child, and it sort of saddens me that i no longer am at a church. catholicism and i parted ways many years ago, as has most organized religion and i. that is not to say that i am not aware of the "gap" in my life. i'm fully aware of whats missing and it's faith. faith brings hope and it makes everything nice and shiny. it makes you believe in the good in humanity and love to all living things. i'd love to feel that again, my heart is open to it. am i far to cynical to accept it, though? am i too far gone a skeptic to truly believe? we shall see, i'm planning on attending some church services soon, i'm not sure just where yet. until then, have a little faith, eh?

I've been thinking a lot about this, too. I've said on numerous occassions that once we move, we are going to look for a church to join. Don't know if I can do the whole Catholic thing, which is fine by Max, but Methodist is just really a condensed form anyway. I don't know if I'm too far gone either, but there's only one way to find out.
ReplyDeleteHa! I don't know if you were at HH yet on Friday, but religion came up and I was discussing my general "ick" feeling when I feel like I am being bombarded with religious paraphernalia, that being said, I do like structure, and am aware of that same gap you mention. I am skeptical that there is something out there that won't make me feel like I'm betraying myself and my beliefs while letting myself be a part of something. Good luck in your search, and keep me posted!
