I remember once being given a task of writing down what I believe as far as faith is concerned, in a lot more detail than just saying "i believe" and then looking at why I believed it. It wasn't a T thing but it helped at the time ... and probably something I should do again
I realize I don't really have beliefs of my own; I've always adopted what others in my life believe, but it's time for me to decide. I decided two things at lunch today: I believe in God and I believe He created the universe. Not much, but it's a start.

I don't know if I'll visit T's church. I have no issue with the church in and of itself, it's just not my thing. It is a non-denominational megachurch. It is likely I'd go and never see T there! Literally thousands of people attend and it has a budget of over $5 million...$550,000 goes to missions...$2.5 million go to staff salaries! I don't like large crowds and that's an awful lot of money for staff salaries.

I hope I don't offend anyone with this post. Just my humble opinion!
