Bacon, Eggs and Taoist

I thought all day while I worked about what I would write in my first entry. I thought perhaps I should explain myself a bit before I get technical with my life.
It's fairly simple, really. I am a housewife and I was raised in a very strict Christian household. There were so many questions I kept asking myself, (I was the only one I could ask, it was forbidden to ask anyone else) like why we believe what we believe and how there could be so many Christian churches that all believe so differently from one another and all of them be so set that they are the only ones that will make it to heaven? I also wondered why God would create such a beautiful world and so many Christians couldn't wait to get away from it! Could there be reasons for this? Could there really be heaven on earth? I felt deep in my heart there were many answers for what I thought. I spent many years pondering all this and went to several churches looking for answers. After so many years of trying and 3 very disappointing events in 3 separate churches, I realized that what we have as a Christian religion here in the United States is not working! So many simple ideas that Jesus taught can never be carried out by our churches because we are too busy looking at the differences in our beliefs and not the fact that we all are the body of Christ.
After the last great (and I mean it was great) disappointment in a Christian church, I became severely depressed. No matter what, I could not pull out of it with the teachings of any church I'd been to. Scripture had become bland because I could not figure out how to execute the scriptures in my every day life. I did not know where to turn.
I began searching through self-help books, reading them and finding few that truly could help me much. Then I found one particular person who has written many books and each and every book helped me to see a bit more clearly as I developed a different viewpoint of life. I began to study quantum physics as well and I found that many of the beliefs I held were closely related to some of the quantum physics theories.
Suddenly, it didn't matter to me anymore to belong to a church, I belonged to God and that was enough. I became spiritual instead of religious. I began to realize that you could not love if you had to judge and you could not judge if you loved. This is not what Christian churches are teaching in my area of the world, although Jesus taught it. There was no follow through with people. Jesus' words didn't seem to mean much to anyone.
I found out I did not fit the mold.
Then I found Taoism. Well more specifically, I found the Tao Te Ching. I realized that the Tao Te Ching brought Christ closer to me and made my Christian faith executable. It opened up scripture so that it finally made sense. THIS is what Jesus taught. This is what life is supposed to be.
Now, I know there will always be those people who say that Taoism has nothing to do with Christianity and vice versa and that they cannot mesh. Fine, if that's what works for you.
I am finding it is not what works for me and perhaps I will be the only person on earth that looks at it this way. That's OK because it's my life, don't worry about it. You can do whatever you please, I will not complain about how you deal with your life. I just want to live and let live...something very few people do these days.

Time is a funny thing, a person can have a billion different things happen and a billion different truths. As you grow, the truths you know will change. This is what has happened to me.
If my life offends you, don't let it. It's not your life, it's mine...I can assure you life was never meant to hurt anyone.

I do wish to invite anyone who might be on this road, the road that leads to smallness and simplicity, to join me on my journey and perhaps we can share a few thoughts and a moment with God together.
Until I meet you, may your days be filled with peace and blessings.
