Hi Thanks be to God Always,
What a coincidence! I'm a freshman too, and I had the same EXACT question when I started 2/3 weeks ago.
I asked my father of confession, and he said to me that we shouldn't be ashamed to pray in front of anyone (not in a…
Wow...
Just look at the amount of people who care about you! If we humans care about one another this much...how much more does the One who created us and that nature of fellowship??
When times are tough, it doesn't feel like you can handle it while…
Wow, I haven't been on in a while and these new stories are cracking me up!!!
Espcially:

Well.
First of all, you did that well enough on your own with the 10% thing :P
Second, I still got it before youuu!! so HA!! ;D
Third, you gotta wait till I get approval, so i guess your gonna have to put ur heroics on hold for a little while :D

lvnvrfails123,
You did not comment about: allowance, grounding, car privileges.
...Just jokingly--of course.

Hahaha :D well, let me put it this way; i do…
Mikhail,
I'm not sure I completely understand how confessing to your father is "unhealthy." As ilsm mentioned, the closer relationship you have with your father of confession actually makes them more strict on you. And if the issue is embarrassmen…

Well, that's exactly it... he's your dad! Doesn't that mean he would have some biases towards you with some of the stuff you tell him? Aren't there things that you would f…

Sorry to go off topic, but I thought that you weren't supposed to have your own father as your FoC?! Or any family member, for that matter. Asking for advice makes sense, …

I still don't understand. Sorry.

This is driving me nuts. ILSM, are you saying I should be giving lvnvrfails 10% of my 10%? Are you considering the cost of the bag: $2.00? How do you know the $2 would equal 1%…

would you have your dad as your father of confession, lvnvrfails13?

I think I have a pretty good idea of who falta002 is. I can only think one person in the world who would call lvnvrfails13 an angel :P

I'd like to help us get back on topic with this topic by reposting Kirolies' incident:

Once I lit a candle and gave it to my older brother. As he held it, it blew out so I…

You could literally write books about candles in our church, and to eliminate them so we can keep our kids happy is not worth it in my opinion.

oh well that makes sense! i can sort of relate to that...
we have a group of women who take care of the food on Sundays (i know, not exactly what we were talking about, but its still service) and they alternate among one another every week.
so yeah…
hahahaha!! ilovesaintmark that was EPIC!!! you just got ur stripes ;D
but on a serious note...its very true what you wrote on there..sad but true...but I'm going with Fr. Peter on this one; none of us are worthy and one can only hope that God will …
WOW.... :o
that was pretty intense! i never knew there was an actual rite and everything that was done for a deaconness! ok, so this has to be a really old lady...but doesn't service kinda require someone physically able? ;) i mean, how are you goi…
I think i've read that book...really good reading and truly shocking when you look at the requirements and the deacons (collective) we actually have!
did H.G. Bishop Mattaous write anything about female deacons? ;)
That's almost exactly how it is at my church Cyril :D a group of little kids all saying the same response together since they barely know anything else (but we're working on that...)
concerning your friend who went through 2 years of training, im a…
Thank you for the links TITL, and the excerpts! they were really good :) Yes, I agree with everything concerning the altar, and I've always been a bit iffy about female priests...it doesn't make sense to me either, but i don't want to get into a deb…
going a little bit off topic here, but in regards to the narnia series, that first book was completely about Christ. i thought the symbolism in that was really cool, and i didn't see it until someone pointed it out to me. really very cool;)
