Is The Truth Out There?!

Is the truth out there?  I thought for many years of my life, approximately 35 to be exact, that the truth was out there and I had found it.  The fount of all truth was in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the LDS, the Mormons. ... I thought.  No, I was convinced that I had found my spiritual home.  I never thought it was necessarily "the right place" for everyone, but I felt I belonged there.

That, sadly, is no longer the case.  A number of years ago cracks began appearing in the shrine of my faith.  It has been only recently that I have been able to expose those cracks, express my doubts out loud.  Now I am on a quest to find the answers to my questions, the antidote for my doubt.  I am prepared to be led where my search takes me.  

Earlier this evening I felt like the Wicked Witch of the West's flying monkeys were in my head plucking out all my stuffing cackling with delight!  Really, I could hear it.  The monkeys are gone now and I know I need to document my spiritual journey ( I apologize for the cliche, but I can't think of a better word for it right now.).  I feel compelled to start with my earliest memories of experiences linked to religion, it's practice, and my exposure to things of a sacred nature.  

I cannot guarantee daily submissions, but I do commit to once a week.  Perhaps putting my thoughts in writing will help me sort through them and find that which is worth keeping.  Amen.
