I just woke up from yet another dream about my Dad--the one who passed away almost five years ago. Each time it happens, I’m right back in that moment, when I could still touch him, ask for his guidance, make him the perfect turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce on top, and stress over what you buy a man who has everything for Christmas.

The thing is: I don’t know if I’m technically a Christian anymore. I’ve been silently debating this question for a decade now and have finally deduced that although I still mentally identify myself as a Christian, I am not.
I was raised as a Methodist by a Christian mother and an atheist father. The first big blow to my religious upbringing came at 16. It was love; not for my high school sweetheart, Matt, but for Shirley MacLaine, or more precisely her book Out on A Limb, which...
