[Faith-talk] my intro

[karin]

I started going to church as a child and I attended the Catholic Church.  When I left home I started visiting other c hurches and I became a believer in 1978 at a Billy Graham crusade.  I now go to Calvary Chapel whose origin is in California.  I love the church and my pastor reads the Bible line by line and verse by verse.  The people seem to have accepted me and I am glad I go to that church.  I also went to public school as a child.  I have more sighted friends than I do blind friends.  Blessings to you

  Karen,
  Well, its good to be on list too. What church or religious place are you 
  with?
  I grew up Methodist which has its routes with John Wesley. He started 
  building the church with small camp meetings and it grew into something more 
  organized.

  I did a lot of church activities in that church; I felt that the adults 
  treated me more fairly than the other students; same with going to public 
  school so it didn't surprise me.
  I joined the church as a teen like all other youth. It was confirmation. My 
  brothers did it too. There were confirmation classes before we joined but I 
  don't remember what we learned or studied. In college I continued my 
  Christian journey through Bible study. But
  I couldn't read the bible with them so I listened as I did in Sunday school. 
  I couldn't take a braille bible because as you know, the bible is so big it 
  takes up a whole closet.

  They usually remembered to read to me, or I asked someone to do so. Usually 
  though, they all read; like person A read five verses and person B read 
  another five, etc.

  So I've had many ways to join in Christian fellowship.

  HI there Josh,  My name is Karin and I want to thank God for being on this 
  list.  I hope and pray this list grows and that we can have discussions 
  about things and not as many devotions, although some of them are quite 
  good.  Blessings to you
