I’ve spent my whole life in church.

I was in the family that if the church was open, we were there.

I’ve probably spent more time in church than I have at school and work combined.

Is that a bad thing? No, not really. But it has allowed me to see, hear and experience much more than I ever could have imagined.

I’ve seen the good, bad, ugly and even worse.

Which is why I love the quote which is the title of my blog.

“The church is a whore, but she is my mother.”
- Saint Augusten

And just like any child with their parents, there is a inseparable bond.

No matter how bad things get, I always have hope.

To quote Perry Noble, “I believe in the local church. I’m obsessed with it…and I think when it is working properly there is NOTHING like it on the planet.”
