I have a hard time imagining Sister as a middle-aged male (or any male) in the real world; if she is she's faking awfully well. I don't know of too many male authors who can write convincingly of stove cleaning and trips to the fabric shop. <BR/><BR/>My younger son was an outhouse a couple of Hallowe'ens ago. He came up with the idea, and we made his costume out of a packing box. And yes, we did cut a crescent moon into the door.CMinorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07305306030099439903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-1162069602734879912006-10-28T14:06:00.000-07:002006-10-28T14:06:00.000-07:00I think this is the first time I've ever been accu...I think this is the first time I've ever been accused of being too hip.<BR/><BR/>or...hip at all....<BR/><BR/>We always said 'hep'.Sister Mary Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00580244097177195453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-1162062780256101122006-10-28T12:13:00.000-07:002006-10-28T12:13:00.000-07:00I spent my entire evening last night reading this ...I spent my entire evening last night reading this online essay from beginning to end. I loved it!<BR/><BR/>But I am so conflicted. The historical references sure sound accurate and like they came from someone who has lived a life in the clergy. However, some of the phrases just sound so "nowadays" and not like they came from a person who is, let's say, over sixty. So I guess I am still wondering, is this really written by a nun or is it all an elaborate put on?<BR/><BR/>I guess with so much stuff on the internet that is phoney baloney, I am too jaded. But I hate the thought that there is some thirty-seven year old man in a yellowed wife-beater t-shirt writing this and laughing at us all for believing it.<BR/><BR/>Can we see your driver's license?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-1161989794020199702006-10-27T15:56:00.000-07:002006-10-27T15:56:00.000-07:00I like your style, Sister.

But I don't see any saying they don't. So there you go.<BR/><BR/>Sister St. Aloysius and I probably have a lot in common. I have lost my car 3 times at Valley Fair (the parking lot) and had to be driven around looking for it. My niece-let always now makes a point of memorizing where I car is since her crazy auntie always forgets. I don't remember always which direction I am walking. But I do consider people's feelings a lot.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I should look into becoming a nun if I were to convert over to RCC. I am already celibate so it really wouldn't be such a big step.<BR/><BR/>I so look forward to my birthday, duchesslet dressed up one year as a Dead Doll (from the Day of the Dead) but I think I have only my 9 year old nephew left out of the 4 kidlets to drag around the neighborhood. *sigh* They all grew up so fast...the time flies.dutchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05037048434409857094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-1161919368153214842006-10-26T20:22:00.000-07:002006-10-26T20:22:00.000-07:00i wanted to be something really scary for hollowee...i wanted to be something really scary for holloween. so im being a nun. thanks sister!Candy Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10263759311551553760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-1161842333794799942006-10-25T22:58:00.000-07:002006-10-25T22:58:00.000-07:00Whoops, forgot to capitalize one of the "him"s in ...Whoops, forgot to capitalize one of the "him"s in there.

My reasons are thus:<BR/><BR/>1) There already IS a spiritual war going on, with angels and demons fighting tooth and nail for human souls. We don't see the fighters themselves (usually), but we see the casualties all the time. <BR/><BR/>2) The fall of Satan was always explained to me in this way: Angels live outside of time and thus are not subject to it, as we are. However, it is likely that at some point, the angels were given the choice between loving and serving God, and rejecting him (just as we are). Since God is infinitely just, it is probably safe to assume that the angels were not yet granted the Beatific Vision, since they would not have been able to reject God after having seen His full Glory. So, each angel had to make a choice, and about a third of them (if Revelations is any indication) chose to reject God, with Lucifer at the forefront. Because they are not prisoners of time as we are, once they had made their choice, the angels were then "stuck", if you will, in that state. So, just as we are taught that the fallen angels can never be saved because it is not possible for creatures living outside of time to change their minds, those angels who chose to be faithful to our Lord can never reject Him. <BR/><BR/>This is, of course, just one little knitwit's input. If I've made any statements in error, it's because I either misunderstood what was taught me or am misremembering it.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09459988554604134456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-1161808753166866112006-10-25T13:39:00.000-07:002006-10-25T13:39:00.000-07:00If there is another war in Heaven it wouldn't be m...<I>If there is another war in Heaven it wouldn't be much of an eternal reward now would it?</I><BR/><BR/>Indeed it wouldn't, Sister.KatDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375302284739220059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-1161803762844254752006-10-25T12:16:00.000-07:002006-10-25T12:16:00.000-07:00Our Heavenly Father didn't stop the first war in h...Our Heavenly Father didn't stop the first war in heaven, so there's no reason to believe there couldn't be another one.
