On that day....
Well today was an ok day.
Although my parents went to see the Furman game today and I couldn't go. *sigh* But oh well at least Furman won.
With today being Sunday I thought I'd give my own little sermon, homily, speech, etc:
I live in the "Bible Belt". This is a place that is made up mostly of Baptists and almost everybody goes to church on Sunday. I like going to church, it's so peaceful there. For once I can put aside all the crap that swirls around me and for one hour believe that in the end everything has a purpose. Well I have a definate belief that there is something at work in the cosmos. Some call this...thing God, Allah, Buddha and many other names just to simply give it some definate existance. The fellow "Christians" that I work with always seem to think that simply because I choose to define the universe in a way that is different from what the Bible says that my way is wrong. I say thats bull! Part of me wants to leave the church simply so I won't be associated with them and I won't have to listen to all this "gays are evil, our society is corrupt" rants.
Sure our world isn't the best place to live in but as I have always belived, "God's in his heaven, all's right with the world."
But as my fav. U2 song goes "I can't live with or without you." I always wish I could ask "God", "Why did you make me able to love both genders?" It's something that confuses me and at times make me feel like something is wrong with me when I know that such a feeling is irrational.
I read many books, keep and open mind and not try to keep myself chained to my beliefs. But all these things are what has helped me to form my beliefs and my relationship with my creator.
Anyway, it is getting late so I'll wrap this up. I know that at some point I will meet someone, it may be a guy it may be a girl, who knows. But what I do know is that my love for them will be real and ir will be glorious. It will be so wonderful that romance itself will have nothing to do with it. I also know that God will be there despite what any right wing nut might say, as long as there is love there will be God. So for now I shall say goodnight to you my friends and to you my special someone wherever and whoever you are.
