I went back to church this weekend
And I rediscovered my faith.
That's not a euphemism for something else.
That's also not me saying I found religion, or I found Jesus Christ, or that I've been Born Again (although the last does come close to the feelings I have right now). I had to bite my tongue quite a lot while in my old church and while speaking to my old friends, the pastors and wives of the church, from 10-15 years ago. I've unfortunately grown a bit bitter against organized religion, and repetitively saying Amen and Bless The Lord in response to good news just annoys me nowadays. I was not there to offend anyone else; I was just looking for something I was missing.
I found what I was looking for.
