Amen

I am going to just place my cards on the table and tell you that I don’t get religion. Today at work during some down time we were talking about faith, God, and the path God has for us. Let me just take a step back and say I really do love the people I work with and we have a lot of fun, so I was very comfortable to also be honest with them as I am with you. I am fully aware that religion and daily motivation can go hand and hand. My former high school is a Catholic school and it did help shape my life no question about it. I would say it was having some great teachers rather then any type of faith. There were those times when we had been at school and we had to go to mass during the year. My mind would be at peace during mass, a calming sensation you could say. However I am not a believer. Sorry to say and you know what? I wish and truly wish that I could wrap my head around having faith or believing there is an Almighty God who does care not only about others but yours truly.

My son on Sunday’s goes to church and he enjoys it. He goes to his school with one of the neighbor families and from what the information he tells me they sing, do plays and talk a bit about God. Obviously he has more faith then I do. He is only six and at times I wonder does he understand what religion is and why does he enjoy going? I know “Hey Tommy why don’t you ask him?” I will the next time he and I are together, believe me you will get a report and in triplicate.

Ok I guess a question to myself is what do I believe in?

Ø I believe in love between two people.
Ø I believe in there is good in Darth Vader.
Ø I believe we are not the only ones in the solar system.
Ø I believe the greatest day of my life was the birth of my son.
Ø I believe humans are not to be monogamous.
Ø I believe that 2010 will be the Cub’s year. No really.
Ø I believe a glass of Red wine will put prospective of the day.
Ø I believe that you don’t vote for a political party, rather a person.
Ø I believe that “A” personalities need a glass or two to lighten up.
Ø I believe that anyone who harms child or animals do not get to waste my tax dollars sitting in a prison cell.
Ø I believe that if you set your mind to your goals, and write them down YOU will succeed.
Ø I believe that there is nothing like the first time you hear the words of “Daddy.”
Ø I believe that there will be a tomorrow.
Ø I believe puppy breath should be bottled.
Ø I believe that there is no right or wrong religions.
Ø I believe that there is nothing wrong staying in bed all day.
Ø I believe that I could keep typing but I need to keep some a secret, well for now.

Well who knows what to believe or not and why can’t we just get along no matter who or what you pray to.
