I was “Born again” on January 1st 2000.

I began attending an evangelical bible church that soon became a mega-Church.

I quickly discovered that my duty as a Christian was to spread the word. Since I was not a social person, I found this very difficult. Joining one small group after another, I found myself listening to group members and leaders as they professed their knowledge and righteousness. Kind of like a “one upsmanship” while never addressing the purpose of the group. Most of the groups members seem to have something to prove.

I needed more.

I owned my faith and while collecting insight from others is great, I found that discovering that insight for yourself has substantially more value. When someone replies to a question with “Because the Bible says so” I feel the need to run away. I don’t find them to be very thoughtful and certainly not someone that I will learn anything from.

I suppose it is a question of truth.

Can you ever be “told” what is true ?

I am still on my journey and try to impart what I have learned along the way.

Sadly, more and more people don’t listen. They wait to speak.

And the beauty of Gods creation sinks beneath their wisdom, like a stone.
