He was?

:001_huh:You might be right.

We will always have a real tree here. I love the smell and the looks of them. We always leave our tree up to at least through the Ephiphany. We usually take it down the weekend after the Ephiphany. I have found that a humidifier will help make the tree last much longer.

I know sort of. It is from the old board and has something to do with we all agree or think alike?:confused: It doesn't sound like us.:001_huh: Does it?;)

:hurray: Sorry, I am old enough to remember the good old days when there were days when stores and gas stations were closed. People perpared in advance and spent more time relaxing with family.

:iagree:It happens quite a bit. I was very shocked since I thought we had move beyond that.

Preparedness is one idea I respect Mormons for having. I also heard that Mormons talk about keeping your body healthy. Is that true? I know what you mean. I am still on page 3.:svengo:

Another nice thread. Thank you for starting it. I have a lot of catching up to do. I only just finished page 2.:svengo:

I finished the thread. It was a nice read.

:iagree: :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

:lol::lol::lol:

:iagree:with you with reguards to the OP posts, but others are posting with hearts towards compromise.

Oh, I don't take offense at all. I hope you didn't take offense to mine as well. I was just continuing in the same matter as the other thread. Honestly, I didn't read past the first post. I am not sure I want to give up more time to anothe thread.;) KWIM? The other one is becoming a part time job.:lol:

I am an extrovert who used to be an introvert as a child and am married to a man who is in the process of becoming an extrovert. When we were first married I would just invite people over. I never thought to ask him.:001_huh: I looked as it was my job to help my dh be healthy and happy. I feel socializing is part of being happy and healthy. Having children helped since we would have people over for their birthdays. I don't do "children's" birthday parties. I always planned "family" birthday parties where I would include the whole family. Thus, giving time to my dh to meet my friends' husbands. My dh now looks forward to these get-togethers.

Interesting on so many levels. It is nice to see the list of differences, but it would be nice to look toward what we have in common. Why would the RCC have to change? Couldn't the RCC and the EO meet somewhere in the middle? My first question would be about the "Use of Unleavened Bread." Why doesn't the EO use unleavened? Wouldn't Jesus have used unleavened bread at the Last Supper after all it was during passover? Right?

:lol::ack2::lol:

I thought I had it right but not quite.:blushing: I found this on a USCCB page. I am looking at #7.

I too prefer the old churches to the new. We go to one built in the 1950s, but they did their best to be as close to a traditional church as the could.

My dd11 was born on Friday the 13th. Plus, it was the hundredth anniversary of Alfred Hitchcock's birthday.:svengo:

:iagree: I think it is nuts too.:glare:

You are asking about scripture, but are forgetting about tradition.

Good question. I am sorry to say that I don't have an answer.:blushing: It is actually being changed to, "And with your spirit." I do have someone I can ask.

I always find something when I am looking for something else.:001_huh:

This happened to me too. My ring had been missing for a long long time: a year or more. This was before I returned to my Catholic faith. A Lutheran friend of mine told me to pray to God to help me find my ring. I felt a little silly, but I did it anyway. I immediately retracked it since I felt awful praying about a ring when there was so much more important work for God to do. I found my ring the next day. :D

Yes, it can all be quite confusing at times. I had recently learned something new. During Mass the following occurs during the greeting: Priest says: May the Lord be with you. People say: And also with you. Who is "you?" In the past, I had always thought it was the priest. :blush: I was wrong. You are saying it to the Holy Spirit. Sadly, there are Catholics who don't know that.
