Kristen, I’ve tried replying a couple of times, the post never shows up. grrrrr…
So this is highly condensed version.
I was like you, born Catholic, raised in early years as Catholic. Spent most of adult life with a mindset similar to brain’s. After 45 years, I have returned to the faith. God is there. Actually, here, there, and everywhere.
Would be happy to continue the conversation in direct dialogue with you if you like.
Take care.
