Quick Pseudo-Religious note

I have been a little reluctant to write about this next topic. Part of the reluctance is an understandible and totally appropriate desire to not make myself seem holier than I am. Part of my reluctance is due to a fear of criticism related to my new-renewed sense of Faith. I want people to think of me as they always have.

It's the "worrying about what people think" part of my reluctance that I want to address here. I'm not ashamed of my recent calling to return to the Church.

I believe in Jesus. I believe in one God. I believe that I need organized services to properly understand God.

It makes me happy to go to Church. It may seem sudden, strange, etc. I finally realized that all my previous mystical pursuits amounted to empty forms, intellectualized attempts to make God be what I wanted Her/Him to be. I got nowhere pursuing that path.

I hope that you read this and feel glad for me. If not, I'll pray for you anyway.
