Google It.

Have you ever 'googled' Jesus, or God, Or Does God Exist? If you did, one of the first websites to show up would be Everystudent.com, an online forum for spiritual seekers to research and ask questions about God, life issues, religion, and much more.

In January I received an e-mail from a woman from Puerto Rico who had a question about living out her faith day to day. Since then we've been corresponding via e-mail to discuss religion, faith and life after death, among other important topics.

This week we've dialogued a bit about differences between world religions. A friend of hers converted from Christianity to Islam a few years ago and she's reconnected with her. They have had some interesting in-depth conversation about their beliefs. It's an encouragement to me that this woman who is just starting to make her faith her own is not shying away from talking about difficult topics. At the end of the e-mail she writes:

"The more I learn... I see I should focus less on the rules of religion and more on being a disciple of Christ. We should all be disciples of Christ."
