it's not what i do; it's how i think. i like the coexist sticker. i almost want to put it on my car.
i really really enjoy my liquor and cigarettes and i really want to smoke pot but my husband has put his foot down on that one. why did i have to wait till i have kids to get the pot urge? anyways, it doesn't look like thats gonna happen on this side of fifty anyways. oh well. i get very uncomfortable when people sound spiritual or throw scriptures around. i'm one of tHOSe people who doesn't like organized religion. i don't really like most christians.
i never thought i would be this person. but as i think about it i can't believe that i used to be one of those people.
i tried to reject jesus. i tried valiantly for two years. worked hard at staying bitter and pushing everyone away. he was still there. i don't think it ever really bothered him. he just kept loving me. i tried not to but i fell for him again. i couldn't help it. i'm not into the bible or praying or being spiritual. but i am into him. there is something about him and i know it's him. i recognize him.
i choose him. i don't choose anything else; but i do choose him.

Your honesty is refreshing! It seems that a lot of people lately are questioning or re-examining the faith they were handed. I believe many of us will find a truly authentic faith that is all our own, between us and God.
Awesome, I am so on the same page... On facebook I put that "if Christianity where a mountain I believe in a version that looks more like a mole hill". If it were a college class I would take Basic Christianity and pretty much dislike everybody in theology and Advanced Christian studies...
I've been so busy that I just now read this. Blarg. Anyways, I hear ya. I feel like my relationship has done the same thing. I don't read my Bible a lot. I rarely pray before each meal or trip...I just talk to him generally. None of this formal praying jazz (although every once in a while it comes out). I guess the only thing, like you were saying is, that I know is that I love him and He loves me. Period. It's kind of like going back to the basics...having faith like a child?
I would further like to add that I was asked to do a word verification of the word "shump" for the post above. I found that to be funny for some reason.
