While I was discovering who I was, or who I thought I was supposed to be, James was becoming increasingly dissatisfied in his job and being so far away from family. As I had said earlier, James was close to his family at the time they talked on the phone nearly every day. In the… Continue reading The slow return – Change of Scenery

The slow return – The Search for Meaning
In my last post, I talked about how discovering writing had quenched that thirst for something more. That fulfilled feeling lasted for total of three seconds - okay it was a bit longer than that, but still something was missing. The interesting thing was I didn't feel as empty, but something still wasn't right. So,… Continue reading The slow return – The Search for Meaning

After four years of having a few worldly high school teachers, who not so covertly taught that our way of life was backward and intolerant. So they created diversity clubs where you celebrated everyone's differences. Needless to say during… Continue reading Walking away – The College Years
Walking away… The Churches
I briefly mentioned in my opening post and about page that I had walked away from Christianity and religion itself for that matter. Looking back I'm not even sure how it happened. I was raised in a Christian house, though we did church hop a few times as I was growing up. The first church… Continue reading Walking away… The Churches
