Religion...

Noah I grew up in a non-demoninationl church. Be at church every sunday and wednesday, Do what you're told and be the best person you can be. I got burnt out on it, started riding bulls and living the free life doing what I want when I want but watching over my shoulder for the people that I knew were "churchy" so that they wouldn't look down on me. That was my thoughts, wether they looked down on me or not for what I was doing I don't know cuz I wasn't them but thats the way I percieved it. I tried to do what was right but did enjoy myself a lil too much on what doing what I wanted when I wanted. That was the FLESH coming out in me. If you spell FLESH backwards it's HSELF. now consider the H as HIM aka GOD. so if you drop the "H" or take God out of the backwards spelling you have SELF. which is what I was living for. In actions I was doing good for other people but usually looked for the good of myself coming out some point and time. It wasn't until I had dang near run myself down, ALMOST loosing everything i ever enjoyed and GOD got a hold of me. I had nowhere else to go but which and God was there. That's when I started relying more on my faith and God instead of myself.

Just a lil background of myself. Don't know if it helps or not but thought I'd share a lil bit more
