I cannot remember a time in the last week, I have actually had enough time to write a blog post. I could not even really tell you what's going on in the world right now, but I can give you a discourse on cross-cultural training (My Research Specialty) lol

Thank you to all who commented on my last post about religion. It means a lot to me to have support. I manage to balance my beliefs with my lifestyle but honestly cannot fully express how in words. I pray all the time, sometimes having silent conversations with God while driving or doing something similar. It is from these conversations that I have been able to balance and affirm that yes I am a Roman Catholic, and never want to be anything else, and yes I am a gay male who no longer wants to be subject to an overactive sex drive.

I have always supported others regardless of beliefs even if they attack mine. (no one has done that here) I always tell people not to get offended if I ask about their beliefs. It is honestly in the pursuit of knowledge. My bachelor's degree is in Religious Studies from a secular institution so I have studied a lot of different faiths. I just have a natural curiosity and like to learn.

I guess without the "like to learn" attribute, I would be a bad doctoral student. lol
