I thought I was the only one that felt their parish was sleepwalking and said so on their blog! I actually am using this bible study as a platform to wake some of my fellow parishioners from their slumber. This morning on my way to work, I heard a sentiment that I thought made sense of how I'm feeling: It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness”. So, I am taking the hint from the Holy Spirit and diving in, feet first. Looking forward to reading more of your responses!!

That's a huge problem that I think also needs addressed.<br /><br />And I have no good answer, but don't let yourself get bogged down and totally discouraged, PLEASE. :) There is always hope...and maybe that hope starts with you and your little one thing. :)Sarah Reinhardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12607023678006758848noreply@blogger.com
