Hello, an introduction of sorts.

Hi, I am a Christian, a boylover, and a very lonely person. Some of you who also read BC may recognize my nick. Bach (a new friend I've only just met) and zip (an "old" friend now) invited me to post here sometime, and although I really couldn't think of anything worthwhile to say, I decided to post this small introduction. I hope that's ok. I used to be very active in my church, attending worship and various adult Bible studies, and serving in Christian Education (Sunday School), youth ministry, missions, camps&retreats, and so on. There isn't much I wasn't involved with at some point or another. For a variety of reasons, I've not attended worship on a regular basis in several years. In the last two years, I've only participated once in corporate worship. At one point in my life, I couldn't imagine not going to church on Sunday; it was an integral part of my life. Now, with the hurdles before me and my faith in question, I have a difficult time envisioning a return to church. Some days I feel like God has turned His back on me. Other days, I realize if anyone has turned his back, it is likely me. God and I haven't talked much recently; when I try to listen, I lose focus or give up. I don't have many theological issues with being a boylover. I never chose to be one, so I assume I am as God created me. How can that be bad? I guess that's enough for now. Thanks for listening. Love, Webster |
