What wakes a person up?

spending a lot of time looking for something permanent in this world, and not finding it.

There is an important point embedded in this piece.

If you let people who despise everything you stand for, educate your kids, you are almost guaranteed to lose them. If you lose your kids, not much else really matters.

Parents have to take control of the education of their kids. In many or most cases this probably means getting them out of public school; it means keeping them in a Godly church; it certainly means taking an active role in their upbringing to make sure the principles you hold dear are properly modeled and lived and taught to them all the way through to adulthood.

They may still stray as they find their own way but they’ll know where home is.

**I am a Catholic today because I finally awoke from that experience. What wakes a person up? Not himself. An alarm clock, maybe? I think the Church would call it grace.**

Welcome home Webster!

I was in Web Bull’s class. I’m surprised his experience at school was so different from mine. We, however, moved in different circles.

BTW, I thought then and I think to this day that the school minister was and is one of the finest men I ever met.

What does this article have to do with conversion to Roman Catholicism or Roman Catholicism in general?
