Joanne had been away from the church for too many years. She enjoyed the youth group while in high school, but when she left for college she stopped attending. In fact she stopped thinking about God and matters of faith. Years later a friend from work invited he to attend her church. Joanne found the Sunday school class discussion both inviting and intriguing. She became part of this class. It was during this time that the embers of faith began to flame in her life.
