Thoughts for Today
Not a heck of a lot going on.... Spend some of last night working on the documentation. I'm down to the Bibliography and it'll be done.
I'm back to the exploration of Catholicism. I'm not ready to "practice" the religion yet, but I am searching the web and looking for answers to questions I had when I started the process but back then, I couldn't find the answers and I got myself enmired in worrying about what other people think and how what I'm doing affects them. I did some research into RCIA and it seems do-able, but the problem is me... it's really difficult for me to get to know someone I've never met on such a personal level. I mean from what I read, this total stranger practicallly interviews me about my life before making the decision to join RCIA and then after that we're supposed to be practically joined at the hip for the until I am a member of the church. That's a huge step for me. I mean, I don't have any secrets or anything, but it is exposing yourself to someone you don't know. I know they're not supposed to judge you, but the thought of having someone who is basically a complete stranger be that involved in my religious experience is a bit off-putting. I know that this person is there to help with the assimilation into the membership and that as an "initiate" (that's probably not the right word), you're expected to be active in the church so people can meet me and get to know me. And what I read said it should be someone who's local to me and at the church I think I'll be attending. Well, considering the fact that the only Catholic service I've ever been to was a midnight Mass for Christmas, I'm not sure I want to go by myself. I mean.. what if I make an utter fool of myself because I didn't know something?
Okay, okay, so I'm not all that self-assured as I thought. At least not in this isntance.
Please don't forget to answer my survey... it's research for a small business idea... all comments appreciated, no reasonable offer refused!!! It won't take five minutes, I PROMISE!
