My Spiritual Journey
Teardrop
I thought it might be useful for me to give you a summary of my spiritual journey and personal beliefs.
My parents did not overtly raise me to be a believer in a higher power. By not overtly, I mean that there was rarely ever any discussion about God in our household. I never saw my parents pray, and they never gave God credit for anything, or blamed Him for anything for that matter.
I was sent to Sunday School when I was 5 and 6, but that may have been to get rid of me for a few hours Sunday morning. My father and mother did join the United Church for a few years, but that may have been for political reasons, my father working for the provincial government. However, maybe something was planted deep inside of which I wasn’t aware.
The schools I attended were typically secular. The older grades and university classes were pretty much designed to promote atheism. The older I got, the more I denied the existence of God. I just plain wasn’t interested even if there might have been one.
Time went on, and I matured and learned more and more about everything; about life. I began to think that maybe there was something bigger than us out there. Explanations of life by evolution was becoming harder to believe. The more I read, the less believable it became.
