Well, music and a few other interests kept me something vaguely approaching sane until I was about 21, but I had to leave after that.

it is the pits being here. it really is. everywhere you turn. there's even a devotional here at work at 8:15 every morning. especially when you ask your grandmother what she wants for Xmas and she says "the best present I could get is if you'd start going to church again" - ugh.
Ick. My family was never a real church-going group of people, but they paid it lip service. However, my older brother is now a Southern Baptist minister.

and I totally agree with what you said about spirituality. most Southern Baptists I know are yearning for something more fulfilling...they don't really know spirituality, they think as long as they read the Bible and can recite scripture, they're fine. anyway, I could go on and on about this. but all it will do is depress me.
The ones I knew only cared about going to heaven when they died.

Anyway, you really should move, but you don't need me to tell you that.
