Since this time things have settled out. Lisa and I have been settling into our new life together. We have a routine and life goes on. We tried going to Atonement, but it was not comfortable. I had not been for some time and Pastor Joe was a little standoffish. I think he didn't know what to make of this guy who was excited about his Calling walking away from it. I certianly didn't know how to explain to him.
I do not want to say we are not going to Atonement because of Pastor Joe. That is very inaccurate. As we have begun our search into religion, Atonement was just not the right fit anymore. I was not the same person, and it wasn't about me anymore. We tried Alpha Marriage and somewhat enjoyed it, although there was one topic that caused an issue for us.
So, we stopped going. We have discussed other churches. We have discussed what we believe and what we find important. We have started attending a new church, St. Andrew Christian Church - Disciples of Christ. We have only been twice, but its a very open congregation. It feels good to be there.
Those same questions continue to tug at me. Should I be back at Seminary? What religion is mine? I have so many opinions that do not meet with so many denominations. What the heck is real? Is there any end to all the questions? That one, at least, I can answer - I hope not.
