Becoming Catholic: The (Re)formation of a Protestant Mind: July 2009
http://reformare.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
One year ago, I was in India. One year ago, my grandmother was alive. And one year ago, I was still a Protestant. What am I getting at you may ask? Well my point might be that "alot can happen in a year," or the nifty observation that "things change.". Actually, I wanted to point out that I fully believe that God has a plan for our lives and although we may not know what it is - He does - and that's all that matters. Out of my mind. Luckily, I had brought 5 books with me, and quickly went through all of ...

Becoming Catholic: The (Re)formation of a Protestant Mind: A personal Confession about Penance
http://reformare.blogspot.com/2009/05/personal-confession-about-penance.html
A personal Confession about Penance. When I was considering becoming Catholic, there were a few issues that were harder than others to accept. And although, I was not adverse to the concept of Confession - I definitely didn't understand it in the fullness of Biblical or Catholic teaching. While growing up, I simply knew it as some diabolical practice of telling all your secrets to some man on the other side of a screen. It made no sense. Why should we do that if we can directly confess to God I wondered?

Becoming Catholic: The (Re)formation of a Protestant Mind: October 2012
http://reformare.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Becoming Catholic is not typically an easy or simple process for those of us that come from a different religious background. I believe it's often not a "love at first sight" type of conversion, but rather a slow and steady conversion of mind and heart as you learn more about the Catholic Church. One awesome multimedia resource out there is CATHOLIC ANSWERS. Every now and then, they'll run a show where only non-Catholic callers are invited to call in with their questions. Besides their radio show. Here i...

http://reformare.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Why Bother to Blog? Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.". To blog or not to blog? I wrestled with this question for awhile. I wanted to make sure that it was the right thing to do, that I was 110% indeed becoming Catholic, and that I had something relevant to say. I have had a desire to get down in "writing" the issues, ideas, and experiences I have had before, during, and through this journey into the Catholic Church. Paraphrasing ...

Becoming Catholic: The (Re)formation of a Protestant Mind: April 2009
http://reformare.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Its Official and Happy Easter. Or rather I should say - I'm official. Officially a Roman Catholic that is. A busy Holy Week culminated in a beautiful cermony and mass - at yesterday's Easter Vigil service. My RCIA class was privileged to have Bishop Holley. From the Archdiocese of Washington, DC to preside over the event along with the other parish staff at St. Stephen's. Also, one of my friends, author Dawn Eden. The Thrill of the Chaste. I wanted to also highlight an article, that just ran in the Wall ...

Becoming Catholic: The (Re)formation of a Protestant Mind: Sisters of St. Birgitta
http://reformare.blogspot.com/2009/07/sisters-of-st-birgitta.html
Sisters of St. Birgitta. I recently took a trip north to visit some friends over the July 4th weekend in Boston. Along the way - I stopped in Darien, Connecticut to visit with the Sisters of St. Birgitta. Also known as the Order of the Most Holy Savior of Saint Bridget. Whose foundress, Blessed Maria Elisabeth Hesselbled - I had taken as my confirmation name. Sent me a wonderful confirmation gift including a beautiful rosary. That overlooks the Long Island sound. Attached to the side of the house is ...
