Questions...

Do you pray?
Why? and to what?
Do you get answers?
Did someone teach you
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned...?
it's been a long time
since my last confession.
Do you feel better after Amen?

I thought about joining a convent
until I read "The Nun's Story".
That's when I started asking questions.
I was 10.

Informed decisions...

 The first grown-up book I read, at the age of ten or eleven,
was "The Nun's Story".

That was the first time I remember thinking about what I
might do when I grew up. 

By the time I got about half-way through the book I'd changed
my mind about the vocation being for me. By the end of the
book I was forming questions about religion in general.

I'm not a fan of blind faith. Be informed. Vote carefully.
