Reflections from a girl trying to figure out what religion means in her life and world.
I created this blog as a way to process and record my experience as a seminary student. I also hope it will provide a platform for my friends and family to participate in the journey. Some of the entries are kind of long, but what can I say--I was in graduate school, they made us do that...
Cheers!
Cheers!
