I feel such great joy every time I hear from someone who has read my catholic Christian story on this Web site and they take the time to write to me and let me know how inspiring my message is for them, personally. It is through God’s grace and his wonderful Gift, the Gift of Eternal Salvation, that it is possible for me to share my story with you.

While some have written to tell me that my site is attacking catholicism, this is far from the truth. I’m not setting up a catholic vs Christian battle here, the intent of this site is to share the good news of God’s Word and to help those who are stuck in a false religion to see God’s true and simple Plan for Salvation.

Recently, I received a wonderful e-mail from a reader who said:

“I really appreciate you posting this information. I have a
situation that will not be easy. I am feeling much like you
did the day you confronted your mother. I know my confrontation
has to take place. The truth has been revealed to me in the scriptures
and through prayer. I have to pass it on to those loved ones that are
being misled. I ask that you keep me in your prayers, and thank you
again for sharing your story.”

The only thing I would say is that when speaking to your loved ones who are trapped in the false church or some non-Christian religion (such as the Church of Rome), you should approach these conversations not as a “confrontation” but instead as a sharing of the Holy Spirit.

See how powerful our Heavenly Father is?

I get an absolute TON of e-mail every day, and there are so many interesting, uplifting, and even challenging messages to go through. I am sometimes approached for help, sometimes asked for guidance, sometimes attacked for my beliefs, sometimes accused of being anti-catholic (which you already know is not the case at all). And sometimes I receive simple, emotional, wonderful messages of thanks. Such is the case recently, and I thought I would share this very happy message with you:

“Thank you for posting your testimony here. God is using your story to
affect many lives. I came here as a Christian looking for more information
on Catholicism and how it differs from Christianity, so that I may share
it with my loved ones. I pray that God will work in their hearts as He did
in yours. Thank you once again.”

You’re very, very welcome.

We’ve had a lot of stormy weather in our area recently. A couple of days ago, a particularly violent storm ripped through the part of Florida where we live, and in my mother’s neighborhood a tornado actually affected a number of houses near her. Trees were severely damaged, large branches came down, hail fell and the wind whipped strong through the streets causing havoc as it did so.

Some people in her area suffered some property damages, but my mother’s home escaped without any significant problems. No lives were lost that I know of, but people living in the area were pretty shaken and some very scared. My mother, however, was not — despite the violence of the weather.

If you’ve read my catholic to Christian story, you already know that at the same time I decided to leave the catholic church in favor of God’s Truth to join the One True Church (Christ’s Body) my mother made the same decision. And I experienced great joy when she told me:

“Because I’m saved, even during that terrible storm I wasn’t scared at all.”

That’s the real deep and calming peace that comes with God’s assurance of Eternal Salvation. That’s what there is to gain by allowing yourself to hear God’s simple plan for your salvation. It is His one true Gift to you, and it’s completely free. Simply Trust in Christ Alone and you will be on your way to an eternity in the light of God’s Love.
