WHewwwww!!
Ok, so Alan has finally told the secret and now I can share my 2 cents worth on the whole thing. WE, as a family are going to Rome, not physically, but spiritually. I grew up Baptist and had been taught a whole lot of trash, judgementalism, and ignorance, I was a Baptist and I'm speaking from my experience in that place. (I am not trying to lump everybody together here, fortunately, not all Baptist are like that.) Then I married a Catholic who showed me what it was to actually be a Christian.
Back then I didn't really have much knowledge or care about what I didn't know, and now, 20 years later, I am jumping in with both feet. Shoot, I signed a document before I married Alan that I would raise my children in the Catholic faith. God forbid that my mother should ever find out about that one. And let me tell you this will be something I WILL NOT tell her about intentionally. She believes, to this day, that my Father, who was Catholic, is in hell. PAAAAleeesa!!! That just shows you what ignorance and lack of initiative to learn some truth will get you.
I have been waiting and pushing Alan to bust it out so that I could talk about it too. It is interesting, it just feels like going home. It is a little emotional, and I am not emotional, and the peace and joy I feel, the anticipation, is pretty cool. What I just have to laugh at is ill informed people saying nasty things. People who have no relationship with us, people who have not earned the right to say bad things. I seriously just look in their face and laugh. I told a Baptist friend, he asked why I wanted to do this, and my response was, "Why not?". It has been a long journey and in hind sight I can see that God has been leading the whole way.

My Katey girl
This is my Katey girl. Isn't she cute? She is going to kill me for doing this, but hey, I don't have much time left. She graduates today, and I tear up thinking about her growing up. See she looked like that only yesterday. Where has all the time gone? Alan says some about the events today, go check it out, he says it so much better. A new and exciting time is coming and I sure hope I can handle it. I just had better leave it in God's hands hadn't I? I will pray a lot for her and me. Time to start really cutting those apron strings I guess.Congratulations Miss Katey. I love you very much!!
