It’s been 20 years. Not sure I can recall exactly.
I live in Kahleefohnee-yah now.
I think I liked them both because I had friends in both churches but they both seemed pretty straight forward Baptist, though not in some extreme way.
There wasn’t this Hell, Fire and Brimstone thing.
There was this love from God and he gave us this rulebook for how to live a better life.
One full of hope, if you worked at it.
One full of peace, if you avoid friction and strife. Not as cowards but as a way of minimizing the people who do not live in peace.
You can be more comfortable with yourself knowing that besides those closest to you, the only other opinion in the universe that matters is that of God’s.
Both places left me with a sense that “I am fine” and that God loves me, as he does all his children.
Wish I could be more specific but I can’t.
Thank you for your help.
