Oh, yeah. I was a confused and rebellious young woman. Glad there are no tapes...
Oh well wasn't sure if it was a play on words. Ooops! thanks for the clarifications. People do change though :-)
I was into wicca and buddhism, but began to feel called back to Jesus (after being raised in one of the Restoration Movement churches). I had a number of people that were there for me at the right time...especially one friend who took me to Mass the first time (I was very shy about entering a Catholic church for some reason)...I have tried to return the favor by helping to get a few friends back into the church, and got my hubby, who was raised Catholic back, too.
If I get wavery, I think of St. Perpetua. For some reason, thinking about her martyrdom "guilts" me back into good sense! I think for some reason, she intercedes for me.
Just goes to show, that some of the Catholics who help us have already gone on to their reward and are trying to help the rest of us along the way.
