I had taken some time away from the church and the synagogue, and knew that I was at a point in my life where it was important to figure out and understand what I believe.  Thus, I began looking for a church to study at when I got to Houston.  Incidentally, whoever is in charge of the website earned their money that day.  This was the only young adult ministry in town that had information on the web that didn't lead me to believe I would be obligated to drink the kool-aide if I visited sometime.  wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
