How Religon Plays A Role In My Life

            I"m not going to sit here and lie and say how great an influence religion has been in my life, and without it I just wouldn't know where I would be. However I will say that I consider it part of my life. I could say that I go to church everyday, and pray every night just like the Christian religion wants us to do. I could say that I make pilgrimages and practice fasts every lent, basically to try and prove that I am the holiest person alive. But I won't. Since I"m not. .
             Usually I try to go to church on Sundays. That is in the summer when my grandmother comes to visit, because otherwise my family "just doesn't have time". I would say that my grandma is pretty religious, right now she's investigating the eastern religion and Buddhism but she still goes to church. I have a hard time following routine (and getting up early on Sundays) but like I said, I try. I never went to Religion because my family didn't have enough money, but I did go to Sunday school for a bit. This mostly consisted of reading a story in the Jesus Adventures and talking about what it meant. It wasn't the most fulfilling period of my life, but I did enjoy the snacks. .
             Holidays are mostly the norm in my household. I think parents tried to get kids interested in their religion by adding Santa and the Easter Bunny, but all it did was make us want more presents. How could I concentrate on the "true meaning of Christmas" when my brain was fixated on the new Barbie beach house that I wanted so badly? On Christmas, my sister always got to put Baby Jesus in the manger, since she was the youngest, and I was always so jealous. Holiday dinners weren't always so enjoyable with my siblings trying to blow out the candles and my dad saying we could at least have the decency to stop since he only got so many days off. We did once have a prayer for Easter, with parts for the whole family but it got sucked into the Bermuda triangle that is our junk drawer.
