But you just responded to it. By saying you ignored it. How does that work?
I'm going to ignore that.
No. That's a fallacy. My way is the only correct way.
I have the album copied to my computer. The old guy I worked with last Summer had me listen to it, and then loaned the disk to me. He also loaned me the movie... which I found really boring, unfortunately.
Yarp.
Haha, indeed.
Ahh... the sweet, sweet nectar of bribery.
Heh, Sounds like a good plan; taking a TFF vacation. I'd endorse it! And yeah; just looking at threads but not posting in them sounds familiar. Personally, I have too much time on my hands... I was trying to decide if too much or not enough was better. Not enough is probably better, because then you're accomplishing something, and don't feel like a bum. Good luck with your essay. Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
That's one of those things about Lent. Personally, I've always found it hard to find things to give up. I have precious little recreation time during Uni; I don't watch TV aside from the evening news. I think my only regular form of relaxment is reading a little bit when I got to bed. Lent just falls at a really busy time in the Southern Hemisphere! I ended up just doing nothing for Lent. Which is really bad, but I didn't think I had much to forfeit. Haha thanks man. Saying nice things makes the world go 'round. I've been busy with Uni. Nearly finisished a 5000 word essay, but it involves original research and I can't do anymore until that's completed, so now I've started on another one. I swear I just have a never-ending list of things to get done. I can't wait to do postgraduate research so I can write about what I want to write about, but the present arrangement isn't too bad. Yeah TFF does take a large chunk of time. For me, it's usually spent being nosy, or just reading posts but not doing anything after that. Then I snap and close TFF to get on with what I'm supposed to be doing. Which is why I just banned myself from here for the last five weeks, but you probably didn't notice, heh. I'll probably leave again in the next few days, to be back in seven to ten weeks.
Ha, yeah. It's all good. Took a little time off, and did other stuff with my time. Unfortunately, dunno how much more of it was reflecting on God... heh. Although I think TFF takes a large chunk of my time sometimes. How have you been? I was reflecting on this while I was gone, and I think you're really cool, and that it's good to have you around TFF. Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
I just read somewhere that you took a break from TFF for Lent. That's, uh, creative lol. That is all. And sorry for being nosy.
Haha, that is pretty awesome. I should show it to my friends, and tell them it is their mascot. I feel you there. I don't think I do enough, either. I give blood and go help at some church events, but those are fairly easy to do. Mostly, I think I haven't gone to the soup kitchen to help yet, is because that would require me to figure out where to go, express interest, and sign up. If I could get past that and committed myself to doing it, I would probably be doing it regularly. I wonder if I need a food handler's license. That's good that I'm not annoying you or anything. Keep up the good fight, Jerald. Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom
Four Square church? I'm sorry, but I had to laugh for a second there. 'Four Square' is the name of an iconic Kiwi supermarket chain. This is the mascot: But nah, each to their own. One of my best friends I would describe as an Evangelical Catholic as well. I think you're going too far by saying that I don't think it is important to explore my faith by myself. That's not what I meant, but I can see how you see it that way. I suppose I prefer to emphasise action over simple reading of the Word. Yes, reading the Word is important. I accept that I should do more of it. But more importantly, I think I should be getting more involved in my community, and living the Word. I don't proselytise, so what I mean by this is helping the disadvantaged. For example, in a soup kitchen. I don't do these things explicitly as a 'Catholic', but this is surely a primary influence on me doing such activities. I do what I can here, but I'm usually pressed for time between March and November. And you're not bothering me with anything. If you were, I'd stop writing responses.
That probably does describe me somewhat. I've been becoming more involved in the local Four Square church that my friends attend and are even in leadership of, and I've done a lot of worshipping and corporate prayer with them, too. In fact, if it weren't for choir and my family being in the Catholic church, I might be going there full time. So you don't think it's important to explore your faith on your own at all? I still recommend it, regardless of whether you think you get enough from the sermons. Particularly Psalms, Proverbs, letters from Paul, John, James, etc. Y'know what? You're a really smart person. I'm glad that you asked me for advice that one time, but it's clear that you don't need it from me. Whatever questions you have, you can probably figure out better on your own. I'll stop bothering you about this. Anyhoo... Wuv, Yer Mom EDIT: And last week, I think I was in a fairly bad mood, for some reason. I think I was still worn out by the week before, maybe. I dunno.
