Love your article! Was raised Catholic , fell away after my divorce,attended evangelical community church where my new wife and I played in the worship band, I wish you could have sang with us then. Any way our search for God , is very personal and can definitely evolve, in my old age I’ve decided to return to my roots in the Catholic Church . Keep writing, I’ll keep reading
Thank you for sharing, it is SO refreshing, real and commendable! My good friend who has worked at NASA for his entire career is also a firm believer and I have long admired him for this reason. Faith is powerful and belief in God (this unseeable but very present loving and guiding force) certainly helps us get through this crazy thing we call life. I find myself leaning toward Buddhism more than Catholicism more and more these days. Thank God there are options. LOL! You are a force of light, Anna. That’s what I know for sure.
My goodness! I absolutely love this! It takes a courageous person to take step in faith to pen and publish this. Then again, you are a woman walking full on in her faith. There’s strength in that alone. I appreciate the vulnerability you shared with us. I pray we all can take that same step.
You certainly wrote much that I could relate with, and I think most people with religious convictions, or deeply held convictions of any kind, could relate to. For better and for worse (although I think the balance tips towards the better), we no longer live in communities of homogeneous belief or thought. Perhaps it is illusory to think that we ever did. I think any caring, compassionate person wants to extend respect and consideration to all those around them, and part of that is recognizing these differences and not belittling others for them. But as with anything, perhaps we swing to far in the other direction and don't share fundamental things about ourselves that no reasonable person would find offensive. Who knows!

Wow! So beautifully transparent and courageous. Thank you!
John Wesley said at Aldersgate “My heart was strangely warmed”. Thank you for sharing your moment of “warming “.

Love this!!! Love you!!!!!
This article was just beautiful! And yes, science and spirituality, notably Christianity, can and do co-exist in harmony.
