    Looking for a more common path

    Hello. I've walked may different paths, looking for people whose hearts and minds were similar to mine. I;m still looking for that group of people to celebrate faith with, and I'm hoping that talking to people here will help me do that. So, thank you for your conversations, points of view and...
