Hello All! I am Joseph the Worker's wife, and have been invited contribute to his blog.
My background is a little different as I was raised Roman Catholic, became agnostic during my rebellious teenage years, was reignited in the Church of Christ, and finally came back to the beautiful Universal Church.
I wanted to say something about the title photograph used as the header. That is the photo of the ceiling above the altar in the Wheeling-Charleston Cathedral. I (as well as Joseph) used it as our desktop background for quite some time. I wanted to offer anyone who reads this blog the same chance, so I uploaded it. Download Here

Well, welcome aboard your hubby's blog. I have taken a similiar path as you. Raised Catholic, moved to the Churches of Christ, then moved to atheism and finally Home to the Catholic Church.
My husband did a lesson in which he referred to YHWH - and mentioned he tried pronouncing it without the vowels, which produced a kind of breath sound - like the breath of life.
It was an interesting observation.
Nifty link!
