There was a time I used every excuse in the book to avoid church. As much as I tried to avoid and deny it, there was still the feeling that something was missing. Then one day for a variety of reasons, I put all my personal objections aside and forged ahead with a strong, renewed desire to love and serve God. It wasnt easy to get to the point of total acceptance and it took time. My decision to return to church was based on a very long history of searching, the experience of poor health and the loss of near and dear loved ones. All these elements and more I believe have brought me to a very real and personal spiritual maturity. Im now very content and thank God for every opportunity I have to worship Him and be in His presence. This life is a journey for all of us and each has a unique path to follow. Be true to yourself and dont let petty grievances and temporal things keep you from experiencing the eteranal.
