Just Another Thorn

[ABabyBoyAtHeart1977]

If there is one thing I have learned about this long walk on this long trail through my life, it is that there are thorns along the way. That’s right. I have learned that I will encounter these thorns and I will have to occasionally bend down and pull one out of my foot. An example of that is a recent friendship that went to hell. This person invited me to their apartment. Without being specific, I will talk about them without giving name or exact gender. Yeah, they started off really nice. Then, they invited me to the apostolic church. Don’t get me wrong. I am not an atheist, and I wanted to see if there was something different about the apostolic church.  I don’t believe in evolution, but I do believe that we were created by somebody who has the know how to create life. I believe we were put here for a reason. I can’t tell you if the being is spiritual or extraterrestrial, but there is a reason for us being here.  With that said, I attended the apostolic church two times, and I got a weird vibe. I didn’t like the touchy feeling nature, and I certainly didn’t like the unknown tongue. To make a long story short, last Sunday, I backed out. Well, in doing so , our friendship ended abruptly. This person hasn’t called me since. They used to call me every morning and invite me over for coffee. Now, they won’t even speak to me at all. This was the day I learned that religion is nothing more than a cult. again, encountered a big thorn that I have to deal with. So what is the deal? Am I going to continue walking with this big thorn in my foot and let it hinder me for the rest of my life? Do I just reach down, pull it out, and chuck it off into the woods? I chose to bend down, pull it out, and chuck it into the woods. That’s right. Life is what you make of it. You can go through life feeling sorry and scared because you chose to turn your back on another religion, or you can say, I am going to make the best of my situation, no matter what.  This person wants to act childish by turning their back on me. They want to act childish and make out that I did something very bad by backing out of the apostolic church. That is on them. However, I will not be moved. I will continue on the path I am on , I hope this story serves as a motivational means for everybody who may be struggling with the decisions they make. This friendship turned out to be just another thorn, and I chucked it.
