Sheryl H-T: Amateur Catholic

Dear B Team,

I would like to be considered for amateur status. I am both an amateur Catholic and an amateur blogger. I used to be an ordained United Methodist pastor, but 15 years ago I was disabled and God called me to become Catholic--I think for the rosaries (I sleep much better with them) and the sacrament of reconciliation (I keep getting mad at God and it's the best way of "making up" I've ever run into). It's my understanding that with the exception of St. Peter, St. Paul, and St. Augustine, you have to be a cradle Catholic to achieve professional status :).

As for blogging, I've made several attempts to find a blog where some interesting conversation was taking place and so far have not succeeded (the first time it was all teenagers asking "where are you?" Now it's mostly slick sites run by people and companies who fail to make me feel at home--or are terribly serious about things that don't seem so important anymore). I haven't figured out how your site works yet, so I hope you're an exception--even if you are B-rated. If you turn out to be bummers, maybe you'll tell me what the funniest Catholic site is and I'll try it...

Sheryl
