My Faith

Midnight mass on Christmas Eve, per longstanding family custom.

~ Christina ~
The lone woman
standing in respect
of He, eternal, intangible,
glorious and loving.
...Is not me.
Well, that woman is not me, I mean.
*Thinks this is a deep, dynamic shot even if you don't *

On the faux-'poem' name there, you should know that my name means "(female)follower of Christ" = daughter of God. Very fitting, and accidental on my parents' part. I'm still honored to have it.


My dad's side of the family is Italian immigrants, thus Roman Catholic. *doesn't want to comment about what I think about modern Catholicism*

I will say that I'm intentionally nondemoninational protestant though. My personal choice, I pick through the definitions of all the sects of Chistianity and could find no one thing, so that is my proud decision. :] All Christians/Jews are God's people, and everyone's God's children whether they like it or not, I believe. *omits extra stuff* (If you personally don't accept a Higher Power(s)/etc, then whatever. I won't bat an eye.)

My rule of thumb: Respect my individual beliefs and I will most certainly respect the fact of your personal choices as well.

Nobody else truly has a right to your choices, so I just accept and let live. I've had a BFF that was bi, despite my thoughts about the subject, and we were quite fine with that. One's personal choice when it comes to sexual relations does not actually concern a friend(as opposed to girl/boyfriend), does it? I thought so.

I'm just true like that... Frivolous things don't bother me...

I love to ask others' opinions though, to see all sides of a topic, so don't be alarmed/dreading if I ask 'daring' questions!
