I'm a truck driver, and because of that, my schedule is a little different than others, mostly because I'm not home. I'm home daily now, but when I decerned to become Catholic, I was an over the road driver. This made the whole idea of attending the RCIA classes seem impossible. I worried I wasn't able to become Catholic. I called up the parish office and set up an appointment with Father Dave for the next time I was home.
At my baptism this past Easter, I felt at peace as Fr. J. started pouring water over me and I heard a voice say, "It’s about time. I have been waiting for you." It was amazing. Gregg
Growing up, my parents and I did not attend church regularly. My parents were raised with completely different faiths (Baptist and Judaism). Some Sundays I would go to the Baptist church with my dad and granny. And a hand full of times, I went with my other grandparents to Temple before my grandfather passed away. Despite the lack of consistency, I always liked going to church, and I did attend different youth groups and church camps with my friends.
