I am interested in joining this community to discuss beliefs, religion in the world today, and angels.  I have come to realize that my journey to the Earth plane has been for total spiritual growth.  I was raised Catholic, although my parents were not strict about going to church.  As a young child, I was fascinated by the stories in the Bible, and had a deep connection to Jesus Christ.  As I grew into adolescence, I began to question God's motives from the Catholic perspective.  I experimented with the Mormon faith, there was a time when I was a little agnostic.  When I became a mother, it was then that I felt the presence of God and the universe in my life once again.  Now, I have no doubt in the God that I pray to, as as well as the angels that help me everyday.  I have grown to respect other spiritual pratices and recognize them as other's way of finding their own inner peace, even if organized religion is not for me.  I have a deep passion for learning about the religions and spirtiual practices of Earth.
