DouglasDirk says:

I am a believer in Christ Jesus and recognize Him as my personal Lord and Savior, but I too have a reverence for nature and feel drawn to incorporate this feeling in worship and praise. I believe in Christo Paganism/Eclectic Spirituality. I am intrigued by Shamanism, Native American beliefs, Wicca, Druidism, and other earth based religions.
