Back in the Saddle
To be honest, it's really hard to keep my mind on my faith when the holidays are happening. This is the first year that I have been focusing on god and my catholic studies, and all was going really great until I went out of town for Christmas. I still went to church. It was a weird Catholic church, it was a new one, in the woods in South Carolina...well, my husband summed it up by saying it was like a "baptist church that decided to become Catholic"...if you can picture that. Anyway, I was focused on enjoying my in-laws and I was really taking a mental break, which is probably not good. The only way I can spin it in my favor, is to say that I was surrounded by love and enjoyed the giving more than the receiving, truly, and that is what god wants us to do. I am pretty sure of that.
Tomorrow is new years eve, I am going to try to focus on my great life and be thankful for my many many blessings. God is love and I have plenty of it.

The differences between parishes can be interesting.
