How did I learn of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? I know he has always been with me. I look back at my life and only wish I had started this journey earlier. As children we are at our parents, in my case, I think, grandparents mercy. I never remember my mother or my grandparents stepping foot in church. We never had a conversation about religion or their beliefs, I got my early learning from my friends who were for the most part Catholic. I loved the mantias, the confirmation, the beauty of the Catholics, even if I didn't understand what it was all about.
I went to friends church sometimes, not Catholic unless it was a wedding or jamica. My first memory of being in Church was the First Christian Church in Laredo. I went with my friend Nancy Gardner. Her father was a Sunday school teacher. I remember I had fun. Didn't really know what to do during church, but did like everyone else even when I took communion.
I went to the Episcopal Church a few times. I realized right away it was a lot like the Catholic church. Loved the ceremony of the service. Still do. I feel like I am closer to God on my knees.
