1st Session: Wednesday...

I brief introductory:

I am a X-Buddhist if that suits. I grew up in a home that had basic beliefs about god. That he existed and he ruled the universe. My family where not church goers, nor did we pray at anytime. When I got older I started out on a spiritual quest, looking for the faith. I ended up trying several different churches mostly protestant, every time things got weird and I would run for it.

My favorite quotes
