Can you tell me about why Sisters do/did that? and what do you reckon about me doing it? I'm a thoroughly modern girl and not sure where this impulse is coming from but am exploring the question.<BR/>Thanks heaps! Sarah<BR/>p.s. I am on a timeframe with novitiate 4ish months away... no pressure, but if you happen to get a chance I'd love an answer soonish! With gratitude and prayers for you & the community, SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435006619965060424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-26901553479384189562008-01-28T11:40:00.000-08:002008-01-28T11:40:00.000-08:00Jesus got angry, really, really angry, when he thr...Jesus got angry, really, really angry, when he through the money changers out of His Father's house.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-70793607528029271252008-01-28T11:03:00.000-08:002008-01-28T11:03:00.000-08:00Dear happy appy,I sincerely doubt that would happe...Dear happy appy,<BR/><BR/>I sincerely doubt that would happen.Sister Mary Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00580244097177195453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-91643697296847485252008-01-28T10:19:00.000-08:002008-01-28T10:19:00.000-08:00The saddest part of this story (to me) is that Mis...The saddest part of this story (to me) is that Miss Jacobson's behavior is all too common from women in today's public arena. <BR/><BR/>Some young girl, aspiring to be a journalist, may hold Miss Jacobson as a role model, and thusly believe that her behavior is suitable for a woman.Hillbillburbian Fileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431188514751145611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-73325928143910520922008-01-26T16:28:00.000-08:002008-01-26T16:28:00.000-08:00A few days ago, you mentioned that the boys had gi...A few days ago, you mentioned that the boys had given you a book on how to do a podcast.

Don't supress feelings, don't deny that you have them and don't think that feelings are "bad" (or you will be in therapy for a long, long time....get and read a copy of Catholic dr Conrad Baars "Healing and Feeling your Emotions). They are an intrinsic part of being human. It's all about what you choose to do because of those feelings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-28518461939398466562008-01-26T08:20:00.000-08:002008-01-26T08:20:00.000-08:00Sister, Is it a sin simply to feel angry, or does ...Sister, Is it a sin simply to feel angry, or does one sin as a result of expressing anger?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-86292083522235066822008-01-25T19:34:00.000-08:002008-01-25T19:34:00.000-08:00I think Jesus would prefer soccer to American foot...I think Jesus would prefer soccer to American football.La Bibliotecaria Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09159679376366104715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-68445848900289647972008-01-25T16:08:00.000-08:002008-01-25T16:08:00.000-08:00That's the University OF Michigan, Sister. :) Not ...That's the University <B>OF</B> Michigan, Sister. :) Not that I'm defending her comments.
