Graceful-ish | Catholic Resource Guide
I’ve been blogging for a bit and realize that it’s about time I shared a Catholic resource guide with you. A sort of “one-stop shop” list of Godly tools I’ve been writing about thus far.
These are especially bleak, confusing times. The dreaded coronavirus has changed everything about our lives, even who we are. And yet, herein lies a great opportunity to get closer to God.
Now, I can write many posts about a Godly life; but, it all starts with you. You have to want something more for yourself than the angst social media and newscasters impose on you.
Let me help you get there.
Catholic Resource Guide
So, to make things a tad easier, I’ve put together a list of all the Godly posts I’ve written thus far. Some will educate; others will hopefully inspire you. The ultimate goal is to get you closer to God.
I did think about making two guides: a Christian one with it’s Catholic counterpart. That quickly seemed ridiculous. Does it really matter how I title this Godly resource?
Christian: a person who believes in Jesus Christ. A person who exemplifies in his or her life the teachings of Christ.
