Over the past few weeks there is little doubt in my mind that I have grown closer to God. I'm closer to Him than at any point in my life and I feel the better for it. My conflicted feelings however come from not knowing where I belong within Christianity.
While I have always considered myself a Catholic my entire life, without so much as a second thought, lately I am wondering if I truly belong there. I find the Church beautiful, don't get me wrong, I just find that as of late it has been pray and reading the bible that has brought me closer to God.
I realize that I could consider myself just a Christian (which I often do now), but there is a part of me that feels I should belong to a denomination...which brings up another issue for me. How to choose one?
So many newer ones seem like borderline cults.
Since I plan on moving next year I don't think I'll jump hastily into any decision as the two towns are far more limited in their churches than where I live now. The one only has Catholic and Anglican churches, although the other one has those plus Baptist, Bible Chapels (what exactly are those?), Pentecostal Tabernacle (again,???) and LDS.
Oh and I'm hoping this is a more private entry (only people I follow). If not apologies for flooding the main blog screen with these ramblings. Actually I have a journal program I really like for my Mac, but I'd much rather have somewhere I can write from anywhere/platform. Perhaps I'll create a WordPress blog.
