Hope I’m posting this on the correct forum…
I was stunned yesterday by a very sweet and thoughtful girl I work with. I was talking to her about my husband, the agnostic, and how I’d placed a green scapular under his side of our mattress and pray for his belief. She answered, “Are you attempting to cast a spell on him?” After recovering my senses, I answered, “no, though I see how you might think that way.”
This girl was raised a mormon but fell away from her church years ago. She says she has no interest in religion at all but is dating a Catholic at the moment. (from what she’s told me, he doesn’t practice his faith) We have a very good relationship and I would like to take the opportunity to explain something about my faith without driving her away.
Anyone have a suggestion how I might go back to the scapular subject with a short and meaningful answer? I think I shouldn’t have mentioned it because it’s a difficult subject for unbelievers. I now wish I’d brought up something more main stream but what I said was in the context of our conversation of the moment.
