<p><p><p>I just worked as a writer for Kaleidoscope magazine. It was a publication of the United Methodist Church. I spent the first 10 years of my life absorbing hell, fire, and brimstone sermons delivered by a Johnny Cash “Man-in-Black” imposter, a preacher named Kermit Blevins, at the Free Will Baptist Church in Piney Creek, NC. When my parents came north, we somehow settled in the old First Presbyterian Church in Ellicott City. In college, I tried a few other churches, and again after I got out of the army, but like you, I finally realized it wasn’t organized religion that I was seeking. I found Jesus, or he found me, and we’ve been cool ever since.</p></p></p>

<p><p><p>Are you a Methodist? Or just work for them? I am/was a Confirmed Methodist. Formed my beliefs and salvation at an early age. The Bible is my church now, and you wouldn't even want to hear the whole story. I don't like churches or denominations anymore. Wherever God the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit and ME are gathered together...</p></p></p>
