When I started this process there was some self doubt as to whether I would be able to keep it up. I am not a morning person, generally. I have realized that things such as prayer, sacrifice, communion/church and participating in the sacraments are all gifts given to us to fully feel God's presence in our lives. People who do not observe these things are not evil. They are not condemned...they are simply not taking advantage of the gifts that have been given freely.
If someone was to give offer you a million dollars...wouldn't you take it. Anyone who has been exposed to these gifts can tell you....the same analogy applies. It is for this reason that I can remain tolerant of other beliefs, but I can also have a deep love and appreciation for the church that I have adopted.(Has adopted me!)
