I Lost My Spark
There is no clear point in time that I can analyze to figure out how I lost my Spark, it is just not with me anymore. I have spent time reading books, working hard to be creative try new things, start new business, but nothing is working. I can no longer ignore the void. The things I used to love to do just seem lifeless, bland, and colorless. For the longest time, I have always given my best to my job and the people in my life and now even that is fading. I miss doing the best I could at anything I tried my hand with and need to find a way back.

Growing Up Religious
From a very young age I was raised with the belief that God was going to come down from heaven at any point in time and take the qualified up to heaven and spend eternity together. This was how they defined the second coming of Jesus, or the rapture. For the kids in my family, hearing this was a curious thing to wrap our minds around since there was no real agreement on what Heaven would actually be like, how God would be coming back or what that event would be like. Vague explanations left room for our imaginations to conjure up some pretty imaginative methods for the second coming. Let’s just summarize it with, the rapture was presented as the promise of all things grand and glorious and the absolute absence of pain and suffering. Anyone that didn’t make the cut for spending eternity in heaven was sentenced to a lifetime of pain and suffering in a much less hospitable location.
