I relate hard to this as a lapsed Catholic. You've given me pause to consider how spirituality can shift and change over time and doesn't need to be a hard rejection. Thanks, as always, for your wisdom, Jeannie.

I'm glad you were able to find someone that helped you grow your faith in a way that made more sense to you.

My dad was that person for me. Although we, my siblings and I were raised in a Methodist church--which was my mother's religion--my dad was raised as a Quaker.

We were taught, by him to question every aspect of the faith lessons we were learning in Sunday school and to question what fit for us right now and what didn't.

All throughout the rest of his life, his message remind the same spirituality is meant to grow with us, to stretch us as human beings to be better people.

There is more to spiritual growth than our religious beliefs and values.
