Long time no post!

Wow, it’s been a while since I last posted. I have had a rough couple of months. I messed up my back and was bed bound for a week and a half and am just now getting back to normal. Other than that, things are well. I took a swing at ceramics. My little girl wanted to do a pick-n-paint plate for her grandmother and I thought as long as I was there, what the heck I’ll do one too. I did the world tree surrounded by some runes that turned out pretty good! I’ll try to post a pic, but I still look at it and think “did I do that?” As for other happenings, I did get an email from someone who was not happy with my views on Christianity. He was a very nice guy, and I would post the mails but feel I must respect his privacy. Had he wanted his correspondence to be public he would of posted in the comments.

I actually find myself feeling kind of bad. I mean, I guess I say some harsh things at times but I in no way want to hurt anybody. When someone feels compelled to email me because they don’t agree with what I have to say I feel like I have harmed them in some way, and I truly don’t mean to. I started this blog with the hopes of reaching other like minded people. I choose not to follow the Christian god and also personally don’t believe Jesus was anybody other than a cult leader, if he existed at all. Those are my beliefs and I don’t try to force them on anybody else. So people can email me all day long and repeat the same things I have heard a million times before but it won’t change my mind. I have read the bible, as well as many other religious text. Even if I thought it to be true I still am bound by my morals not to follow it. It’s that simple. I have chosen a religion that makes sense to me. To be honest with you, I don’t see what the big deal over religion is anyway. Oh well, I’m not veering over that cliff anymore today ;-)

All I can say is that after years of confusion and feeling guilty I now have peace. After years of nothing I have now had contact with what I believe to be a higher power. For a grounded man of logic a brush with the supernatural can be a powerful thing. I had one of those moments, and it still has not faded. You will never be able to convince me that some man made writings in a book are more reliable that what I have heard from the sources mouth(so to speak).

So hail to those who stumble by this page, may you find your path. Every man parts this earth alone and meets whatever is next on his own terms. Remember that when other men try to tell you what is and what isn’t there. Your heart and mind will guide you truer than any book or spoken word.
