April Fourth
Today is an anniversary of a different sort than the one we commemorated day before yesterday.
Two years ago today--April 4, 2004--was Palm Sunday. That morning, I attended Mass for the first time. Experiencing the beauty of the liturgy was one of the last pushes I needed in order to make up my mind that I absolutely would join the Church.
After Mass and the final hours of the silliness that was that weekend's Youth Legislature conference, a couple of kids visited Nashville's Centennial Park, still not 100% sure of where they stood with one another when they got there. They were both pretty sure when they left, though.
It was a very good day. It's been a very good two years.

I remember that day too because just one week from that day I was received into the Catholic Church. I just love talking about it because it changed my life forever.
Youth Leg, itself, did very, very little to influence my faith, but it was the setting for a few events that helped spur me along towards the Church. :)
I appreciate the prayers very much. Thank you.
Layla,
I'd like to officially welcome you into the Catholic faith even if it is a few days early :)
I had a special image designed for all new Catholics, so please visit my blog and feel free to display it on your blog.
