My recent return to faith and the church

Dude!!! Welcome back!

I just wanted to encourage you to keep correponding to all the graces that God is pouring onto you right now. Keep saying “yes” to God.

Also, I just found (like last week or so) a really neat resource on the web that might be of help with your bible reading–

this chart will get you through the Bible and Catechism in one year’s time. The nice thing is that it doesn’t have to start in January-- just start WHENEVER and check it off. I started recently and really like it. If I miss a day, it’s no biggie-- just pick up where I left off and keep checking it off. 20 minutes a day, consistently, and you will get both your heart and mind fed. (Note: the chart is in legal-sized format for some reason. If you don’t have legal paper, as I don’t, make sure you scale it down to fit when printing out…)

Again, welcome back, and keep at it!

Thanks for that link! Very cool chart and guide. Saved it as a PDF, and will even copy to the PDA.

Thanks!

Good day to you all,

Fast forward to a few months ago. Something has literally changed inside me and I am not sure what has caused it. (…) I actually went out and picked up a new copy, NAB version, at my local Bible book store and looked for one that felt “just right” to me. I also phone my parish and scheduled a one on one confession with our priest. (This will be my first in a very, very long time, and I wanted to make sure I did this right).

Do I sound crazy here?

(…) What I mean by that, again, not trying to sound nuts here, but when I get up in the morning, I just feel “good”. I get in the car on the way to work, I see the orange hue of the sun on the horizen, and I can’t help but feel happy. (And yes, I’m one of those who would normally be in the car, drinking my coffee, blowing the horn at the guy in front of me who won’t get out of the way).

(And hopefully for not telling me I’m nuts)!

If you are nuts? Definately… but wonderfully so… You read Scripture… then you will know that the apostle Paul says that we really are nuts those of us who have been touched by Christ though the Holy Spirit.
YES - WONDERFULLY NUTS.

Halleluja praise the LORD… Amen?

How great of you to share your newfound joy with us…
Jesus surely is the most profound Joy and Peace… never forget He is also Freedom…

Embraces from a fellow sister, who was also touched by Grace a few years back and who also went wonderfully nuts

Peace brother…

It’s called GRACE. The Holy Spirit is working in your life and you are open to it and allowing it. Spend some time thanking God.

Welcome/welcome back!
