Still Catholic

I think this is the longest I've ever participated in church in my life (and I'm 38 years old). I've been going to church regularly for 2 1/2 years. I know I haven't posted in a while. I chronicled my journey and although it continues, I haven't been inspired to write anything. I'm still going to church weekly. I still sing in the choir. I've been going to the adult faith formation classes which have been going over John Paul II's Theology of the Body. That has been really enlightening. I'm finally "getting it" when it comes to sex and relationships. I still haven't had a date in over two years, but I'm learning that it is o.k.

I've continued to make rosaries and now I'm selling them online if anyone is interested. I sold some at a local craft fair and I'm trying to raise enough money to pay for my GRE test. I am going to go back to grad school and am trying to figure out how to finance it.

Other than that, I'm simply living and trying to manage life between work, home, and church. I'm still very happy to be a part of the Catholic faith and I will continue to grow and learn in it.

Hmmm.. if only rosaries, popes, lent, advent, and such actually appeared in the Bible. Please look further into God's word and compare it with your faith. Your son said that your religion sometimes feels like a cult. That's because it is.

Hmmm.. if the Bible were the only source of information on how to live a Christian life... hmmm... if only it weren't for the Catholic Church that we even have the Bible... hmmm... if only people who had something negative to say about my faith didn't hide behind anonymity. I have looked into God's word and because of that I chose to become Catholic.
