The mere fact that you are hungry for knowledge and exploring is wonderful. Take your steps slowly and carefully though. There are many slippery slopes, falsehoods and individuals with their own agendas out there.

I am a man of great faith. This is different than religion. People wage wars over their religious beliefs. But faith is personal. Between you and another, greater being. Hold this thought as it may help clarify your exploration. But yes, I am religious, too.

Now, my suggestion is this: VOLUNTEER

You read right. Begin your faith journey by reaching outside of yourself. Too often people are so absorbed that they stumble and get frustrated. Like dancing by yourself, in the dark … with your shoe laces tied together. (smile)

Again, reach outside of yourself. Give your time, energy and talents. You are needed everywhere; a food pantry, free store, homeless shelter … the need is everywhere. You WILL meet like-minded people whose spirits are about giving. Observe those around you. And observe your own behavior with those you’re serving. Give it time. Most of the world’s religions all encourage giving to one another. This is the beginning of your faith journey. Instead of you find the right deity to worship, He, SHE or It may find you.

Blessing to you today!
