Trouble with Faith

 Let me start by saying i am a Christian. I was raised Christian, and brought up in a Presbyterian church. I participated in many mission trips (mostly to the same place), i rang hand bells and chimes, i was in the youth groups (which felt like daycare honestly) where we'd sing and dance, and get a prize at the end.

When the basement is finished, it will be a 4bed, 3bath (well oddly, the 3rd bath is actually finished down there, but that's it). On top of the house, let's go ahead and add the fact that we are in the middle of a PANDEMIC right about now. Yup, good ole COVID-19; the virus that spread from China to all over the globe.
