Things I wish I'd known

I was wondering yesterday, what did I wish people had told me at the beginning of my Christian faith? Anyone out there with any thoughts, please let me know. I'd be keen to see a 'Christianity for Dummies' guide, although I'm sure there already is one.

*Pause while Rob Googles....*

Yes, there is. Also a raft of sites that claim Christianity is FOR dummies. Oh dear.

Anyway, what do we wish people had told us? What would we go back and tell ourselves?

In many ways this is a poignant question for me as this is my second go at Christianity, having met Jesus as a teenager but run away from it all on a gap year. I have a pretty firm grasp of some of the changes there have been in my Christianity between then and now that make it, for the moment at least, a more vibrant and viable faith.

I'll put them up later this week, I just wondered what you all thought first.

Please comment.
