[Faith-talk] Church experiences

[Debby Phillips]

Hi Melissa, I'm really sorry that you have had such bad 
experiences.  I must say that my best experiences have been in 
the Catholic Church.  I'm so happy to be back there.  I should 
never have left.  My only mixed feeling thing is that I can't go 
to daily Mass right now as I'm working.  Being a temp, I'm sure 
I'll be laid off eventually.  But God is good, and I would like 
to be a permanent employee, so if He thinks that is best for me, 
I will be.

My husband and I are on the team for the class of those who may 
be received into the Church at Easter.  I also sing in the choir, 
and when I'm not working, I'm part of the Altar Society.  But 
best of all, although I don't emotionally feel it every day, I 
have a real knowledge that I am loved by God.  I'm praying that 
you can find someplace where you will feel accepted and yes, even 
loved.    Debby
