Brought Up A Catholic

Religion has always been very important to my mum and her family. We did go to church regularly too.

Now that I'm older? I still have that background but, I think, more a sense of duty than of real faith. I dunno.

Maybe things change? Maybe they come round again full circle?

I am a former Catholic...and as you know the Catholics have the PRIEST read passages from the Bible TO them, and very seldom read the Bible themselves. After I left the Catholic church I purchased the King James Bible, (the Catholics have their own version of the Bible).

What I love about it is that all the words spoken by Jesus Himself are written in red.

I highly recommend that you buy such a Bible. During this time when you don't wish to attend church, you can still read the words of Jesus Christ.

I found myself exploring His words...because honestly, I had never really heard all of them before, and remembered not enough from church. My faith is stronger than ever. I try to follow His teachings as best I may...and that is more than I ever did when I attended church.
