whats left now

.....the connection.......every set of lyrics below was written by someone who knows what a relationship with god is all about.....they've all grown up in a fundamental christian home......i just found it sad that all of these people have somehow lost their way.....after my post about 'finding my way' i just was contemplating these lyrics and wondering what happened that would bring these artists to the point of despair and what seems like no hope in their lives....but then i realized, it really doesn't take much.....not even a major life crisis really...sometimes all that happens is that someone close to you has let you down and given you a distorted view of what a christian is.....not that we can ultimately blame anyone else when we reject god, but like i've said before.....i don't want to be a negative point of reference as a christian.........sometimes i feel as though i am but at least i'm aware of it and will continue to keep myself in check.....am i what a christian should be?.....am i drawing others to god?.....or turning others away from god?...........

............i've often wondered if those who have chosen to walk away from following god have an empty space in them that haunts them.....because i often do and i haven't walked away......what is 'walking away'?.....because in these lyrics my first reaction was....'gosh, they wouldn't feel that way if they were still walking with god?'....but is that necessarily true?.....don't we all feel these same things?........why?.....should we always feel complete?.....whole?.....satisfied?....strong?.....
when 'walking with god'?.........................

these are just some things that have been rumbling around in my head lately?......
