I was baptized Catholic. I attended Catholic schools until my sophmore year of high school. Attended mass during school and with my mom on Sundays. I made my first Communion at St. Malachis and My confirmation at St. Bartholomews. I chose Marie as my middle name. As I grew up, my ideas of the Catholic faith was changing. There were some things I began to disagree with. I didn’t agree with some of the things that were introduced into the church. So, I became, what I called myself-a Free Spirit. I was introduced to the Mormom religion, Baptists and even the Jahova witnesses. Nothing appealed to me, until my daughter introduced me to her choice of church. It was just a plain community church. The pastor there at the time, touched my soul. It was like God was speaking through him and right to me. There were sevices where I began to cry the tears of Joy. This is where I decided to be saved. I consider myself a born again Christain with a free spirit.

Religion choices for my children was left entirely up to them. How could I force a religion onto them when they were small and expect them to be happy with my choice. I wasn’t happy with my Moms choice. But I did speak freely of God and Jesus to them. They knew of the amazing works of God. I even allowed them to attend churches with their peers. I would accept and honor their choice of whatever religion they felt good with. As I stated, my daughter is a christain from head to toe. My son, well he’s not all that much into Religion. He asked me once "how am I suppose to believe in something I can’t see?"
