Good to see you again. You're posts are always welcome, just as they are. Don't worry about spelling, finesse, etc. I don't - see how much trouble I get in? J/K.

Anyway, I certainly know where you are coming from. I was a gung-ho Christian when I met the F. but Berg falsely led me down a path that I'm having a hard time reconciling now. Also, before that, I was the typical hippie, anti-war, hating everything. Then I became a Christian, then I met the F. I thought I was serving God too. Berg's anti-American and nearly communist agenda fit in with my previous leanings. It's all very confusing now. I know just what you mean how I once thought I knew everything, now I feel like I'm just starting to learn again. I don't think anyone has all the answers. I think it's dangerous to think that one does. I have two children in the military too, isn't it funny how things ended up?

I know what you mean about not being able to go to church - I rarely go to church. Sometimes I drag myself there because my children are involved - they are stronger Christians than me. Sometimes I feel like I don't fit in anywhere.

Hang in there, Matt. Do come around and let it out, this is a good place for it. We all understand, hopefully.
