The Lord Giveth and The Lord Taketh Away ...

Fair warning, this is one of those journal entries where I just dump everything out in the open to make myself feel better. Will it make sense, maybe but only to me. You have been warned and you are welcome to skip this entry if you so please

I have no issues talking about how I feel and about what I have gone through, I just don't really have the time with work and all. If I hadn't worked 17 hours on Saturday I wouldn't have written this LJ entry, but reply makes me glad that I did. I appreciate the open arms, and while you are right, you and I have not always seen eye to eye, I have never wished ill will on you, I want you to know that

I have never been a big religious guy, so I am still struggling with the "why me?" aspect of it all now

Something that might be more up your alley though...There's a DVD series of Bible studies called Nooma, put out by a huge non-denominational church in Grand Rapids that's known for it's 20-something population. Basically, it's a 10-minute video with a book of thoughts and questions to consider. It's really awesome because it's not like traditional Bible study things. The videos are incredibly modern, the teachings are relevant to people our age and background, yet firmly grounded, and the questions are FAR from hokey and "railroady." I have access to about 6 of them if you're interested in borrowing one.

Ironically if thats who you are talking about I went to a church service of theres about a year ago, oddly enough I left there with the strength to call Jessica and try to renew our relationship.
