Personally I grew up with lack of church attendance by my family and have never felt none the worse for it. My folks were CONSISTANTLY loving, supportive, disciplined with themselves and myself and my siblings . There was never a doubt in my mind that I was loved.
However as we, my husband and I, became parents we merged our lives and determines that our kids needed a church.
Something I never regretted.
Our upbringings and religious connections stay with us our whole lives and sometimes skews our veiws to why we get cancer.
Only we can remedy how we view ASPS and come to the conclusion that there is hope.
Spiritually we all need something to help us ,our well being ,to begin to understand ASPS and what it throws at us . We need simply, hope.
My hope is that everyone finds their nitch spiritually ,whether it be exercising, meditating, yoga and or church. They are all good for our souls.
