When I first started having issues with my mental health it started me on the road of learning who I was, what I was, and what I wanted to become.

I left active ministry due to the fact that I could no longer agree deep down what I was taught all of my life.  I could no longer stand in judgement of those who may not see things the way I do. 

For example; I heard all of my life that if you smoked you would be sent to hell.  Sorry, I no longer believe that, yes, it will get you to wherever faster because science tells us of the consequences to our personal health. 

Being a gossip in my own personal opinion is far more damaging, not to you, but to all those who you may gossip about. No, being a gossip is not the unforgivable sin. 

I have been on this journey of coming to terms about myself for over two decades and I have a lot more road to travel.

So, as I write more posts for this simple blog, be patient with me for I am still coming to terms with myself!
