One of the more comforting aspects of Christianity is that we know Christians, commanded to love God and serve neighbor, will be known by their fruit. I have seen that fruit in threads about visiting the inprisoned, teaching religious ed, coaching youth sports, service in organizations that give of themselves to aid the less fortunate and so much more.
I am glad I was a practicing Catholic as long as I was and I may just return. I appreciate the sense of duty and the freedom from fear that came with faith. Before I was active in the Church I suffered from PTSD and didn't go out of my way to give my time to anyone, especially if there was some personal risk or discomfort involved. Heck, I didn't even give blood very often.
