I have been depressed lately, and haven't been on. I'm going to start writing every day. I think my depression, got out of hand because, I held everything in. When I was writing all the time, I was better. I don't care if anyone reads it, just a vehicle to release my frustrations. I sooo greatful that my best friend Keyz, isn't leaving, he means the world to me, more than he'll ever know.
My church is splitting into two DIFFERENT sections, of the Anglican religion. I'm stuck in between, now looking for a new church, where I'll feel at home. So far, not much luck, it is only two weeks. I can't believe, that my church, would hang me out to dry. This whole thing, has to do with same sex relationships, and the blessings of their marriages. I was told by my pastor, if I have a friend, that believes in these things, I CAN NOT EAT AT THE SAME TABLE AS THEM. That's OK, for them to say but, my sister and brother, believe in the blessing of the marriages. DOES THAT MEAN I CAN NEVER SIT AT A MEAL WITH THEM, JUST BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY BELIEVE ? I DON'T THINK SO ! I don't care one way or another, we are ALL GOD'S CHILDREN ! I like the church I was going to but, they are going in a different direction and slandering my sister's church, which HURTS ME DEEPLY. I don't understand HOW A PASTOR CAN DO THIS. The new branch, is part of the church of the southern cone. That means, Brazil, Uruagray, Paraguay and a lot of other countries like that. They seem to think they are better off, than the way the church has run,for thousands of years.
Everyone has a choice but, I don't think you should be pushed into making an decision, to their way. I was happy, until they started with this break away section. It's truly a mess.
My GOD, WOULD NOT TELL ME, I COULDN'T EAT AT THE SAME TABLE AS
SOMEONE WITH A DIFFERENT OPINION that's just ludicrous !
My family will always be more important than switching to another branch of my religion. My pastor said, the original religion, DOESN'T BELIEVE IN GOD ANY MORE. Why would they give up believing, in everything they were taught as child FOR ALL THEIR LIFE. He's just saying that to make us, stay with him. How can a person who believes in God, not believe in him anymore, just because they want you, to break away with them.
MY GOD, FORGIVES US OF OUR SINS, IF NOT CHANGING IS A SIN, I'M GUILTY,
AND WILL BE FORGIVEN.

A sick man turned to his doctor as he was preparing to
Leave the examination room and said,
'Doctor, I am afraid to die.
Tell me what lies on the other side.'
Very quietly, the doctor said, 'I don't know.'
'You don't know? You, a Christian man,
Do not know what is on the other side?'
The doctor was holding the handle of the door;
On the other side came a sound of scratching and whining,
And as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room
And leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.
Turning to the patient, the doctor said,
'Did you notice my dog?
He's never been in this room before.
He didn't know what was inside.
He knew nothing except that his m aster was here,
And when the door opened, he sprang in without fear.
I know little of what is on the other side of death,
But I do know one thing...
I know my Master is there and that is enough.'
May today there be peace within you.
May you trust God that you are exactly
Where you are meant to be.
I believe that friends are quiet angels
Who lift us to our feet when our wings
Have trouble remembering how to fly.
That is ludicrous.We are all gods children.And he love us all.

I would NEVER leave. I forgot how many wonderful friends (you being one of them) that I have here. Why should I let 3 people make me leave such a great place like DS! My feelings were hurt, but I'm over it now and those, so called friends, are off my list. I'm not going to report them to Doug....I'm not like that. Let them be happy in their hate.
As for your journal....just trust in the Lord, he'll show you where to go. He's always helped me. It's not easy most of the time, but we'd be lost completly without him.
God Bless You My Friend.....

This is way I stopped going to church like over 12 yrs ago. They all turned political. I don't need a church to feel good about who I am. I tell you this though,when I leaved in Florida in 01/05 I did find a WONDERFUL church.I really really loved it. It was Christian , I really really loved the music they played, it was praise and worship,helped me to feel good,it warmed my heart.The sermons were like Joel Osteens.I like that.I like how he interpets the bible,it is easier to understand and it is easier to imply that into ones life.So just do what makes YOU feel good! Take care,hugs
