Christianity isn't a religion--
(aka, tiny spurt of deep thinking, self searching, world understanding religious wordage)

--it's a relationship.

The most profound reason that I follow the God that I do is because the center of His being is Love. He cares for His creations, regardless of who they are or what they did. I am so fascinated by that Love, and at the same time, so fascinated with all the people of the world who feel the need to be miserable. Who feel the need to deprive themselves of any love. On purpose.

In my world, there is no doubt in my mind that there is a God; the concept of a lack of a Creator just so boggles me that it never enters my mind. There is no doubt for me that there is a great Love at work that causes me to want to love as well: no doubt, because I have people and reasons to love. Frankly, this love I feel makes me blind at times, emotional at others, and naive at still other times; but I hope that it also makes me more open in spirit, more joyful for no darn good reason, and maybe, just maybe, a small touch of being wise.

Now a question, completely out of curiousity--I swear it by the Love that I know. I have always wondered if any other world religions teach of gods that love their creations, that invite them to a one-on-one relationship, with no middle men like priests in the way. I really haven't done that much research; I do know that the gods of mythology delighted in picking on humans or demanding sacrifices to curry favor. In all fairness, I should research this on my own, but still, curious to know.

Meanwhile, in the mortal world
*bounces onto pillows* Now it's time for my "weekend"! I have the next two days off, and I already have plenty to do tomorrow, so...I'll stay up late! Heeeee! Things are going decent enough at work and one of my co-workers, James (who looks like a young version of Will Smith), has sorta taken me under his wing till I get my footing. It's nice to have people patiently encouraging you when you're learning something new and difficult.

Admittedly, I had a pretty awful nightmare about work, how this one lady was trying to sabotage all my efforts in order to get me fired, but I realize now that, even if I should get fired, I'll still be all right. I've got the confidence to know that, wherever I might go, I'll do well. Right now, the purpose of having my new job is to cover my bills and, to a lesser extent, move out. One thing at a time.

I care for you all.
And I love my beloved Jama-sama. ^-^
Now (in the immortal words of Adis!): "Go to bed!"

~EDIT~
I just took an online IQ test (*roll eyes* right, like those things are accurate), and it said I have an IQ of 143. I'm...suitably...amused. O_o; (The last time I tested, I landed in the lower 13os range.)

OK, NOW you can go to bed. ^_~
