I was so afraid to go (fear of being excommunicated, fear of having to do CPR on Father John, fear of the building being struck by lightning...You know, the usual), but I am telling you, it is worth it. It is not only receiving absolution, it is also receiving great advice on how to move forward. <br /><br />I feel as if a great weight has been lifted off my shoulders. After completing my penance (which I did right away, and no, it didn't involve lying down on a highway, counting cars), I walked outside feeling like a new person!<br /><br />This is one of the posts on Father John Hollowell's blog that helped me have the courage to finally go.<br /><br />Thanks!<br />ChrisChristene Scottnoreply@blogger.com
