Intro to this Blog

I've decided I'd like to share experiences and feelings about religion in my daily life. In many ways it impacts everything I do. In fact, my goal is to center my life on God. But I'm not a religious fanatic or a monk. I live a "normal" life with a job and a family.

Some people say "religion is a crutch," I guess they are implying religion is for people who are too weak to make it through life on their own two feet. To me, religion is more like a guidebook or an instruction manual. I believe God loves us and is trying to help us find happiness and joy in this life and in an eternal life after we die. I'm grateful to have religious principles and guidance from a loving Father in Heaven to help me face the challenges and opportunities of life.
