To believe or not to believe....it's your choice....

Before I moved to the Maritimes, it was suggested the we attend church once we get here to develop new friendships.....There are many to choose from....But you have to find the one that is best for you....

One the way home from work today, I took the long route, and captured a few on camera.

This is just a few in the City of Moncton, that happen to be on my trip home......There are many others.....

Religion is one of those controversial topics that no one usually wants to talk about...To believe...or not to believe...It's a personal choice...But if you choose to explore it.....do some research....decide where you are most comfortable...and most of all...go in with an open mind.....
