I was raised Protestant/Jewish - now there is a mix for you!

When it was time for me to decide my faith, I leaned to the Anglican rite, though it was not terribly rewarding. Like many, I skipped church during my late teens and early 20s as “not relevent.”

Then I met a Chaplain while I was on active service. He was Catholic, though he did run non-denominational services. The Catholic faith gave me what I lacked. A sense of God in my daily life.

I am profoundly grateful to him.

The irony is, my wife was raised Catholic and is now Buddhist.

**A sense of God in my daily life.**

Chaplains in the active service are so wonderful. Thanks for your special sharing.

Does that mean you use summer sausage to replace salami as the meat choice for your bagel sandwiches?
