  So, I'm out here in Dallas now. Things are very different. To begin with, I'm in a cube now. What, you ask, a cube? I was quite bitter about it for at least 48 hours. I mean, I'm not a new employee. Then, the cube I was assigned ticked off a few people, as they had been using it. I swear, controversy follows me wherever I go. Otherwise, things are great in the new job. I feel like a different person, not so emotionally drained on a daily basis.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to gripe a bit, about a sensitive topic, so be forewarned, I'm not trying to tick anyone off. Just being my honest self, which at times, you like about me. Religion. I grew up a Southern Baptist, through and through. Went to church camp, on mission trips, and can still name every book in the Bible in order, both testaments. Upon attending college, I began to realize that not everyone grew up believing what I did, and what my small town did.
There was a whole world out there, who had different beliefs than me, and believed them with the same faith and sincerity that I did. What made them wrong? So now, I am more opened minded when it comes to spirituality. I'm not an atheist. I do believe in God. But, I don't believe that I have to think a specific way to please Him/Her, and that I'll burn if I don't say a certain prayer.
I mean, I believe that God presents Himself/Herself in different ways to different peoples. Allah and God may be the same, who knows? Not me. Anyways, I don't live a life that is dictated by religious teachings, but I can understand that others do. What gets to me, is that when people try to present themselves as religious, but have actions have a person with no spirituality. I mean, going to church twice a week doesn't really appear to make a difference on someone, if they are "lying, stealing and cheating," as the saying goes.
I see this all the time, at work, with friends, etc. When I believed in a religion, I adhered for the most part. Felt bad when I sinned, didn't thrive on it. I don't get. Anyways, those are my current thoughts and questions. Any answers would be helpful.
