HOMEWORK

Hello Jin Young. Thank you for sharing this. I am also a Christian. but not a religious one. As a matter of fact, I was very active in church when I was young too. We used to go to church every Sunday as a family. Our church used to be a very small one, with very few members. We knew each other well and we were quite close to all members. As we grew older, our church also grew. More people, more members. Then we went through a personal family problem. My mother moved to another city. We stopped attending church. I think I was in first year high school that time. From high school to University, I\'ve never attended church. My relationship with God also grew apart. I was focused on just school and making friends. I still have my faith. I acknowledge that I am a Christian. However, I am not a devoted religious person.
