Hello friends, my blog post schedule is a little off this week because I posted on Monday. I hope you have noticed that I’ve been dropping hints about some changes that are coming to Katherines Corner. All will be revealed shortly. I will continue to share life stories, creativity, and giveaways and of course TFT. But “stay tuned” for a few other things I think you’ll like. Now why on earth would I title this post Just Three Letters?
Well….so far during the Covid 19 “ stay safe stay at home” new normal I have managed to gain 11 unhealthy pounds, proclaimed 2021 as my “ official” year of the purge ( If I don’t use it, don’t need it, or have no idea why I have it, it’s out of here!) I also very quietly celebrated my 60th birthday ( rotten Covid I needed a party ,smile) and….. I added three letters to my name, what letters are they? Rev.
Rev.? What?
Okay, I know reverend aka Rev. is rarely abbreviated. The proper way to address clergy is ” The Reverend then the name. “Did you know you can take divinity classes and theology courses from home? You can! HERE and, well…. I took several courses but didn’t managed to do four years worth (smile). But, I took condensed classes and still managed to become and ordained reverend!
I am officially an ordained ecumenical reverend. Which is a Christian based “nondenominational reverend”. In a nutshell, it means, “a Christian reverend not associated with the traditions and regulations of an organized denomination and instead represents the universality of the Christian faith and unity among churches. Those who follow their own heart and are not restricted to a single denomination, ie. Catholic, Protestant, Baptist, etc. but accepts that there is one God and believes in the 5 major beliefs of Christianity.
Does that description sound like how you feel?
Have you ever struggled to fit in? You know and accept the 5 major beliefs of Christianity but feel like a square peg in a round hole when you try to find a church? God knows you love him. “There is great reward in merely knowing God and being allowed to come to him by faith.” Matthew 6:6
I’m here if you need me.
5 Major Beliefs of Christianity
1 -Uniqueness of Jesus (Virgin Birth}
2- One God (The Trinity)
3 -Necessity of the Cross (Salvation)
4- Resurrection and Second Coming
5- Inspiration of Scripture
What do these three letters mean for Katherines Corner? Will I start writing posts only about religion? Preach from my blog pulpit? Nope!
The truth is I am nervous writing this post because I don’t want you to think that. Of course, I don’t want you to unsubscribe, stop reading, visiting, and participating because of this personal accomplishment. I’ve written about prayer and being a child of God in the past and I don’t anticipate writing any more than I usually do. The three letters are just another part of my story, and I’m sharing with you. I look forward to reading your comments.
The most important Three Letters are God ( smile) .
Thank you for your support and bloggy friendship, I’ll see you back here tomorrow for TFT (Thursday Favorite Things blog hop link party for blog writers and blog readers).

Katherine, I am just seeing this post today! I was at your blog and happened down the sidebar and found it. I don’t know how I missed it before, but I guess my excuse is the blogging life (while I LOVE it) overwhelms me a bit, and I get a little scattered! So, a very late congrats on your achievement!! xo
you are so sweet Pam, thank you. I think it’s time for you to relax and take a time out from your “busy-ness”, perhaps a mani pedi? xo
Congratulations Katherine. That is an accomplishment. I also loved your 5 Beliefs of Christianity. I believe them also. Blessings to you in your new endeavor. Linda
Thank you so much Linda, biggest hugs coming your way!
Kaherine, I really must apologize to you, I do not get to comment here near as much as I would like to. I definitely do follow you and I am awe of how much you are able to share and accomplish. Oh my dear Lord! How lucky He is to have you sharing His word. What an incredible accomplishment! Congratulations, my dear friend. I am so impressed and so grateful to know you are out there, when this world can be less than kind. God bless you and congratulations again.
Hugs,
Theresa
No apology needed my friend. Thank you so much for your lovely and very enthusiastic comment, its a beautiful way to start my day xox
I’m so glad. By the way I’m also featuring at this week’s party. Hugs to you! 🙂
I just saw this when I stopped by to visit. Thank you my friend for sharing my joy. xo
Katherine, I’ve been reading your blogs, but never responding to any of them (not sure why, sorry). This is awesome!! I’m so happy for you! I feel the same way you do with your thoughts and beliefs. I grew up Catholic, went through the motions, got married Catholic (hubby passed away too soon), had 2 beautiful children with him (to find out that the priest that married and baptised my children was a pedophiler)!
Rita, thank you so much for your comment and for your kind words. I’m so sorry to earn about your ex-Priest…I pray your children weren’t victims of this horrible person. As you can see my comments on my big achievement are, well… sadly missing. I guess I thought I’d read, ” way to go, that’s awesome”. Instead I have lost 234 subscribers since my blog post. I suppose it could be coincidence. Thank you for being a subscriber I’m so happy you chose to leave a comment today xo
Katherine, this is SO incredible. Congrats, big hug and best wishes! xo
thank you my sweet friend xo
