gotta have faith, like George Michael

What is it about libraries and lots of food to make you fat? Bleh. More Christmas partying tonight as well with joel and the guys from his work. It should be interesting.
The preacher at church, yes, church, I go there occasionally with Joel, made the announcement of our upcoming wedding. A lot of the people there were surprised, although I don't know why, his mom should have told all of them by now.
Yeah, the church thing. I went to church on a regular basis when i was smaller, I would say I went to church regularly until I was about 6 or 7 then my dad, being the open minded liberal that he is, got pissed off at the church for some reason or another. I didn't go to church for a long while after that. I went to various churches on a sparadic basis with my friends: catholic, pentacostal, baptist. I attended catholic church on a regular basis for six months or so while i lived in Texas, and it renewed my faith in not going to church and how much organized religion sucked, so there is a 3 year period after that until now that i did not go to church. Joel and our friendship and our developing relationship talked to me about his church and how it was laid back and totally informal. I went to check it out and it is what church should be in my eyes. The congregation is friendly, the pastor, Kurt, is knowledgeable and humourous. He takes the good ideas from the bible and the christian church and implements them into his sermons and teachings, which is cool, because that is what i do. I think that we need a form of values to live by, ect.....I take the good ideas from all religions, and it just so happens that they are similar, and put them into my values and beliefs. God isn't the important part in religion, either. (gasp!) It is the faith that you have.
Alright, I'm out....later.
