Just keep it simple!

I just don't see the point of the story. My struggles are finding the good God of the bible. Concerned Aunt has found him and I wanted to see if I could get there.

This is something that you can't force. This is why, while I am very religious and I feel (like you can read from many others who preach as a profession) the need to communicate my faith to others, I mostly don't. Everyone needs to come to faith in their own terms and at their own time for their own reasons. I cannot sit anyone down and start talking to them about faith and expect that they will immediately connect with what I am saying. We do not speak the same language at that point. What I can do, is be open for them to ask. And when asked, answer as openly and truthfully as I can. And then we have a language in common. Not before. This is why I am not preachy. And yet, I feel all the time that it would just be better to preach while I do everything else.

But you need to find it. For yourself. I can't do that for you. Nobody can.

And, you know? This is one of my fears with my girls' religious education. I have no doubt that they have, curricula wise, an excellent program. What I am uneasy about is that faith isn't a school subject. Comparative religion maybe - but it's not comparative religion that they're studying. And you can't teach faith. So are they having faith, or just taking religion as a subject? Or both, but in compartmentalized, rather than reinforcing, ways? Of course, I like to be there for them, and I want to think I can be that influence. But only time will tell.
