"100 questions do not make one doubt" --I forget who said that, but I think it helps sometimes to remember that it is ok to go through a time of questioning -- but also of holding on to your faith....with both hands.....

blessings,

Unity in Christ


Let us pray for Unity In Christ!

I second that.

And, the quote comes from Bishop Fulton J. Sheen. smile

My prayers for you continue Theist Gal.

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to say I haven't posted for a while, and might not be posting for a while longer. I'm going through a period of doubts about certain aspects of my faith, and would like to try and deal with them, rather than trying to suppress them or pretend they aren't there.

I'm still attending church - just don't feel comfortable pontificating on matters of doctrine when I'm not sure whether I believe in them or not.

Thanks so much for your friendship & support while I've been around! I'll check in from time to time & see how everyone's doing (that means you, Alex! wink ).
Prayers !!!

-- John
