A big thank you and good news to boot
I can't tell y'all (I'm allowed to say that my Daddy's from Georgia) how much this group means to me. :grouphug:

I found it right after the election after a pretty low moment at my Church when I really felt that maybe God wanted me to leave the Catholic faith. I felt like I belonged no where - my religious/Catholic acquaintances were mainly conservative and my liberal friends were mainly non-religious.

So I now come here - I read all the posts (even if I don't post too much myself) and I feel at home. And I think God sent me here for a reason - He still wants me (as a Catholic)!!

The good news is that my goal for Lent was to forgive and let go of a very long standing grudge and I feel like I did it. And it feels so good. I need to start moving down the list of grudges and forgive more people.

God Bless - everyone have a Blessed Easter season!O8)

1. Thanks for an uplifting post!

Letting go of a grudge is very difficult -- I congratulate
and admire you for your success!

We're all living through a difficult time for the Catholic
Church and for the world. I pray we'll all see better
times before too long.

5. Thanks
This place is so full of true Christian love it reminds me of the Agape celebrations we used to have in high school. Gee, I miss those.
