Don't Fake The Funk

F E A R L E S S

While not at all embarassed about my faith, it is interesting to note that I never talk about it on this weblog. I also have this tendency to say my pre-meal prayers quickly when having dinner with friends almost as if I don't wish for them to see. This past weekend has made me realize that I feared, to a slight degree, what non-religious people would think about the strength of my own beliefs.

As of today, this has changed.

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, died, and was buried;
He descended to the dead.
On the third day He rose again;
He ascended into heaven,
He is seated at the right hand of the Father,
And He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The holy Catholic church,
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body,
And the life everlasting.

Amen.

Call it what you want, but sometime in the past few months, Purpose has been given to me to do what I can to help the Lord, my Savior, do His work. No longer will I hide who I am -- not who I have become but who I've always been.

Fearless. And what?!
