Hi Rayww. Thanks for sharing your testimony about your mother's healing, & also the links to your family & faith. Here I was thinking you might be Catholic! Ah, the assumptions we can make... I was raised as an "Army chapel Protestant". As a young child, my father, having no faith of his own, believed himself to be god. Once he surrendered to Jesus, we attended the chapel of whatever military station we were assigned to. I got a little bit of everything. As an adult, I gravitated toward nondenominational Protestant churches, especially charismatic ones. Still, I always felt that there was something shallow about the worship settings. I wondered why there were so many church splits, and why everyone was so angry at each other - where was the love? I can now see the hand of God behind the scenes through the years... He's now led us to a church that's got one major mission: to return to the historical, true Church that Jesus left in the care of his apostles 2000 years ago. The One Church that existed for 1000 years before anyone split off. It's amazing what I'm learning, what's been thrown away in the name of modernization. My faith has been challenged, stretched, & undergirded with an ancient foundation that was missing before.
