Faith has been a bit of a theme lately, not least on Sunday when I was asked to celebrate a friend's son's Christening. It was strange celebrating a CofE service. If anything my family would be Protestant, but I went to a Catholic school and my extended family are Catholic, so for me if it's not Mass it doesn't feel right. However I did get a cup of tea which I was allowed to drink whilst sat in the pews so it wasn't that bad.
I find religious faith quite a challenge, I'm not sure I believe in, as my brother would put it, the magical sky wizard. What I do have though is a sense of something more, something bigger. I just don't know what that is, maybe it is a collective consciousness, maybe it is the flying spaghetti monster *all hail his noodley appendages*. There is something that my faith hovers over that I can't quite put my finger on.
I don't think that is a bad thing though. I am science minded, I believe in fact, in proof, in evidence, in proving a hypothesis. I also strongly feel that a sense of something else, means you might have your feet firmly planted on the ground but you can still have you head in the clouds, feeling the sunshine, hearing the birds sing and hoping to find something new.
