What I'm Doing 5.1.08

In an effort to both better understand my fiancĂ© and simply to learn more about Christianity, I am reading two books on Catholicism. I have to admit that I’ve been a bit ignorant when it comes to the majority of Catholic beliefs. Although I don’t fully understand everything (nor agree with everything), it has been fun searching passages and interpreting the Bible in different ways.

Also, as our wedding day rapidly approaches (June 14th), my fiancĂ© and I have been diligently reading “Before You Say: I Do,” by H. Norman Wright. We each have a copy, so we’ve been exchanging ideas over the phone. We both feel it is important to discuss a lot of marital issues and challenges before they actually happen. Most people do lots of homework before making important decisions, so why not do the same when preparing for marriage?
