And I thought. And the whole time, I buried my head in the sand about what was happening inside of my head and heart. I was becoming — if not atheist — most definitely agnostic. Then came a question from Arwen, one that woke me up. As I wrote an answer, I started to ask myself, Am I Christian at All? After that initial moment of questioning, I quickly resumed convincing myself that I was still a Believer. Whew! Dodged that bullet, didn’t I? [...] […] I read. And I thought.

I am sometimes not sure if the God really sent me to do something to love one another. I often asked myself: Is it really God's will? I am told that there is always anther option that God permitted and granted. Do I suppose to forigve one another even the pain still comes to me? Do I suppose to exit? or continue stay to show God's love but make myself suffer? I guess my point is I am not sure I cleanly know God's will. It seems to me there is always one way or another.

Since it didn't work anyway, I turned it off! Thanks for stopping by. As difficult as it is to admit my thoughts sometimes, I realize that hiding them is pretty pointless. After all, if Jesus IS the answer, it's not like my paying lip service will keep him from seeing what I'm thinking. So why pretend? When, by the way, will you pick up your story? I've enjoyed reading about how you and your wife met -- in some fantasy world, I always expected something like that, but instead, the concept of "meant to be" always got me in trouble instead. Hmmm...I think there's a blog post in that. :) I’d turned on the registration feature in a (useless) attempt to slow/stop comment spam. Since it didn’t work anyway, I turned it off!

I have tried to comment here on several occasions but had to "register"??? Anyhow, I appreciate all that you have to and sharing your doubts, joys and hopes and frustrations. You are real and that's what I like about you. Thanks for the link.
