To me it's not about "religion" or by "works", but rather a day to day friendship with my Heavily Father. I'll admit, faith plays a huge part in my relationship with Jesus Christ. Every person has a different life story, mine was a huge mess. However, when I gave it all up and gave Him my full undivided attention and said, "God it's all you. I can't do it all on my own. Please help." When I made that decision and stuck with it...things happened. Faith and the will to persevere through life's obstacles, keeps me going brother. Great post :)

I will say that there are times when the thought of life going on without me seems unreal. The fact that there really is an end to me is beyond what my mind can comprehend. Especially since I have kids. I can't imagine them in a world without me. Just as I don't want to imagine a world without my parents. The feeling that there is a God and some sort of heaven that will be there for me when my time comes is calming and it does lessen the level of anxiety I have about death. I don't beleive so much in "organized religion". I believe that everyone should have their own relationship with their God...whomever that might be. The recruiters...yes that I could do without.

I have my own belief in some kind of power that is beyond my comprehension. I just don’t know exactly what it is. I now belong to my wife’s church which is Buddhist. The one thing that bothers me about both religions is the heavy pressure they place on members to recruit more new members. Both religions seem to believe the answer to the world’s problems is to get more of the world to join the church. The pressure to recruit new members is always a disappointment to me.
