You, however, are much more gentle than me in your defense of the Church.

Thank you friend. We are spoiled brats. I think a short absence made the heart grow fonder. Also being in a great evangelical Catholic church made be grow in amazing ways. Bible study, the Cathechism, FAMILIA training, it isn't a sacrifice, it is a blessing! It is simply amazing to learn our history. Knowledge is power.

When I tell you that for Lent I am going to daily mass, and I laugh at myself for for who I've become, and what I was. The thought of wanting to go to daily mass blows my mind, but being filled with the Holy Spirit is euphoric. I love it, I was missing out for long time.

I laugh at myself for what I was and what I voluntarily missed out on because of my stubbornness. But, the laughter is joyful for in some ways I appreciate it all so much more for having starved myself of it for so long.

I was away for 20 years and like a man starving I gorged myself on it all. Daily Mass, Ha! I fasted every day for Lent one year!

Well, I just wanted to comment to you as I am only an inFRequent visitor here and had never seen anything posted by you.

I said you are gentle, but after the last couple of posts, I sense some steel in your spine as well:)
