I entered the church last Easter (without my spouse), and we're doing the exact same thing. Would love to hear the different "stages" your church-going has gone through.
Serious doctrinal error from the pulpit + really nice fellow churchgoers = hours o' fun!
Chad, that's a rough row to hoe. I know our older kids still speak wistfully of the Evangelical church we attended - because it was so much fun. (And for a kid, what's he or she going to choose? The hard pews and interminable Mass, or the disco lights, singing, jumping, dancing, and crafting?) But my kids have also improved in the last, nearly two years we've been attending Catholic parishes.
Oh, wow, now that's dedication.
Just discovered you from Catholic Converts. ...And I just noticed that you link to me. Thanks!
Love the name of your blog. I'll be back!
Of course I link to yours, Jennifer! Yours is one of the best-written blogs out there. Mine's like random scribbles on the back of a napkin in comparison!
