Take me to church

Did you know that Hozier is actually 6'5" tall?
Yeah hes a tall dude.

Anyways were going into uncharted territory today.
Its about religion and my experience with church.

Now as a disclaimer i'm not trying to convert anyone, give any impressions or anything negative.
This is just me and church.


So I've been going to the same church my entire life.
The First United Church of Arvada.
That's where my mom and grandma and some of my aunts and uncles went when they were younger.
I was baptized in that church.
My Mormor is the church secretary
SHOUT OUT TO THE BEST SWEDISH MORMOR EVER! LOVE YOU!
I mean really were that adorable.

Its a tiny church in urban Arvada and i love it.
Its like a second family for me.

I don't go to church in Durango because I've found a family back home to worship with and I like my church just the way it is.
They all support me there and ask me about college.
Its not like i'm fully home until I go to church for the first time back.

I affiliate with the United Church of Christ which is a very open community.
We have had a couple of gay couples in the past and a transgender pastor,
We accept everyone.
Which I love because organized religion these days gets a bad rap because there are some that do not accept everyone.

I believe in a larger being, an all knowing thing.
I believe in multiple lives and reincarnation.
I believe in souls.
I believe in giving good energy into the world and getting good back.
I believe in signs and karma.
I believe that Jesus was a person, a teacher.
I believe that we can all go to heaven, everyone has a redeeming quality.
I believe the that human race is generally programmed to be good.
I believe in an afterlife.

This is just what I believe and if you don't agree that's OK.
I'm not going to get into an argument about what I believe because it will just become a shouting match.

So there we go guys.
New territory conquered today!
