First things first

I do not come from a Roman Catholic background, but sometimes I wish I did. Catholics seem to view the world more sacramentally than we Protestants. One of the sacraments recognized by Catholics is Penance (confession). According to Frederick Buechner, a sacrament is when something holy happens. I want to believe that when I reveal something about my life, either verbally or written, that something holy is happening—that what I speak into this world actually matters and has the ability to be something beautiful, something holy. But then again, this is probably a worribly difficult thing to live up to. I might regret writing this later. Thanks for reading.
