Hi, Birdie. What kind of birdie are you? A blue jay, cardinal, oriole, robin, crow, or raven?

Excellent choice! Indeed, they are. A few weeks ago, I drove my mom to her scheduled doctor's visit. In the parking lot right before a rain storm, I saw a raven perched on a light pole looking right at me. We just looked at each other. God used him as message to me, and I felt a strong presence of God at that moment. The peace and assurance given to me was from Heaven. I gave him the Roman salute and then I made the Sign of the Cross.

Good Evening,

I'm a 26 Catholic who was baptized Easter of last year after a pretty long conversion. I came here to find a place I could freely and openly discuss my various interests and views, as well as to meet some likeminded people. I'm excited to have a place where I can share music, get reading recommendations, and improve my newfound faith by interacted with others who take it seriously. In general I'm pretty normal: I work blue collar, am freshly married as of April, and live very humbly and modestly since we don't have a lot of money. I enjoy reading literature - classics, Catholic novels, and drama or thrillers - have a deep and lifelong affection for music of various types, and have a great big group of friends that I love to spend time with.

I'm very easy-going with my public demeanor, but I find I'm fiercely opinionated compared to most people I actually know and get along with. It can make actually having in-depth discussions very rare since I very rarely find people with similar viewpoints to my own. It's a sea of modernity out there to say the least. I poked around some of the threads here and figured I should make an account and contribute here and there.

Glad to be here and I'll try to keep up with it. I haven't been active on a forum site since around 2015 or so. Feels like stepping into old shoes or a by-gone era. Though a good community is irreplaceable.
