Mother's Day

On this Mother’s Day, I’m remembering what my mother taught me about religion and faith. I came home from church one day, disturbed by something my teacher had said. So I asked my mother what she thought. Her response was, “Nancy, you’ll hear a lot of things at church. Some of them might not be true. If what you hear doesn’t sound right, listen to what your heart says and make up your mind for yourself.”

As a result, I’m comfortable in almost any religious setting. What Mother did for me was give me a personal God. Thank you, Mom!
