I had tickets to Game 4 of the ALCS at Fenway. I owned them. They were tangible and in my hand. I won the right to buy them at face value. So, I live 2.5-3 hours from Boston and it’s an 8 o’clock game on a Tuesday night and I have to be at a meeting at 9am the next morning in Hartford. Needless to say, I can’t go. I sold the tickets to a friend of mine and I’ll be watching the game from my couch. Looks like I made a few steps back on this one.

How I did it: I was lucky that circumstances assisted in loosing the ties we had to each other. Work, life, family and other things make it difficult to see each other. I was always ready with a reason. It got easier and easier every day. My heart still jumps into my throat when I see him, but it no longer controls me. Read how I did it…
There is a wealth of information, sadly most of it incorrect or misleading, available about various organized religions. I speak only for myself, but I offer you my experiences in hopes it can help. I am an adult convert to Catholicism. I am a member of our RCIA team (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) which prepares other adults for conversion. I also study Catholic Apologetics. All that said, I can tell you two things with totally certainty.
1. I have been able to use the study of apologetics to satisfy my need to intellectualize (not just spiritualize) my religious experience. Many adults find this need in themselves. There are resources to help you no matter what faith you pursue.
2. You should speak to someone who has a strong knowledge of beliefs, practices and doctrine. Unfortunately, believers and members of a given religious group are often not the best source of information.
I wish you the best of luck.
I was forced to re-evaluate my feelings. Turns out my once really good judge of such things is on the fritz… he’s gay. We’re still friends. I still adore him. It’s ok and it’s getting better everyday.
