You just might be a believer. . .


Are you afraid you have too many doubts?  Your faith may be stronger than you think.  Here are

The Top Ten Signs You Still Believe

1.        You think Mother Angelica would make a neat aunt.

2.       You wear a cross, even if it makes you feel you always have to be on your best behavior.  The thought of tucking it in your shirt is sometimes tempting, but it makes you nervous.

3.       If you accidentally say a bad word, you say “Sorry, God.”

4.       Your friend wishes his or her ex from Hell would die and go back there, and you look up and say, “He (or she) didn’t mean it, God.”

5.       The thought of deliberately skipping your prayers or quiet time makes you nervous.

6.       You get annoyed at people who are annoyed at people who say, “Have a blessed day.”  You think, “Don’t you want one?”  If you say it, you say “Sorry, God.”

7.       When you have something wrong with you,  you “go up” at the healing service, even  if it's something embarrassing, like lice.

8.       During the holidays, you change your voice mail greeting to “Merry Christmas.”  (If you keep it on until Epiphany, you are either Episcopalian or too burned out to change it.)

9.       A nonbelieving friend talks about the Hypocrisy of Organized Religion, and you say, “Oh, lighten up.”  (Especially if you add “for heaven’s sake.”)

10.   You feel sorry for Bill Maher, even though he is rich and famous and gets to talk about smoking pot on television.
