Church

Roughly half of Americans are religious and half of Americans are happier than other Americans.  Those stats don't match up, but having God in our lives reeks benefits.  For me, Church served as a place of annoyance for years with the objective of mass to space out.  I am a Catholic and not until very recently have I found true importance in faith.  The best thing I've found in the church is it serves as a backbone.  It helps us be confident and keep composure when times get hard.  It helps us to be optimistic and focus our energy on what makes us happy.  More importantly, it helps you to live by good morals, understanding right from wrong and making smarter decisions.  With so many peer pressures, it is one of the few things I can lean on for support.

I recently went to retreat with my church and I've changed considerably as a person.  The amount I learned about god in that short time was astounding.   Making a solid relationship with god has helped me to live a happy life.

“The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”

-Psalm 118:6
