I’m right with you. I was never baptized, although my gramps on my mom’s side was a Baptisth minister. He passed before I was born. Oddly, I never had a strong religious background growing up, but I considered myself a Christian. I married into a strong Irish Catholic family, and a couple of years ago, my wife & I mutually agreed that we would start attending her mom’s church. The pastor is very engaging, and I was impressed with the positive message of love and giving. I signed up officially for RCIA recently, and, God willing, my goal is to be baptized, confirmed and receive Holy Communion at Easter Vigil 2010.

So, count me as one of the converted.

So,

If you were the only person ever made, and you sinned, IHS would come and die for you so that you could be grafted into His living body.

When I think how much Jesus loves you, and how grateful I am that He loves me, well, I get all sappy.

Do keep us posted through the year. I hope you have a good RCIA class.
