I'm not really feeling it this lenten season. In fact, I haven't been feeling it for a while now. I know that faith is a constant change. Just about the time I get settled into it and find solace and maybe even a routine, it changes and I lose interest and find a supplement to it. Perhaps that's all part of "keeping the faith" - coming back to it again and again.

But why do I believe the way that I believe? While I was brought up in a christian home, we never went to church and this path was never pushed on me. If I came home and said I was an atheist there might be some type of well-meaning intervention, but I doubt I would have been forced to go to church.
