a very interesting article

This is a very interesting article. It is also quite long, but worth the read.

The author recounts some of a story from his high school years: his 'born-again' phase, and a little about how we "left the fold".

What was profound for me was the kinship I felt with this guy as he spoke about how he is still "haunted" by this phase. He is haunted by his love for Jesus. I feel his pain.

I've had many mental wanderings in, around, and through faith, sometimes even out of, maybe. But, I cannot "leave the fold" for one simple reason; I am desparately in love with the Shepherd. Jesus holds my heart in a deep and seemingly unshakeable way. No matter where my mind goes, or even my emotions, I cannot let go of Jesus. And, he is so profound, powerful, and real to me as to keep me believing in his deity. I've never known of any other man or god so...AWESOME. He stands alone. I stand with him.
