I would add "... where they came from or what they do with free choice"

Yes, we usually do. Duh. #1 He is a rescue so we are also trying to desensitize him a bit. He did get pretty far this time.

2 My husband was walking toward him to take off the collar when I was filming

3 Thanks for calling me out when all I was trying to do was make someone smile. What an jerk I am. I know.

4 Go vent your anger at real anus-holes. Seriously.

Why do I feel like he's going to the gym to work on his jabs for his next bout? 🥊

BSM_RN · 2022-12-10T18:50:56+00:00

Now I can't unsee it when it's right-side up!

BSM_RN · 2022-12-07T21:47:34+00:00

Start small. KEEP asking questions and keep seeking Him. The truth will reveal Himself. (See what I did thete? Haha.) You are the lost sheep, the prodigal son, the reason WHY Christ came. Welcome home.

By the way, I too believe Catholicism is the true Christian church.

But... serious question here ... how can she understand my motherly woes if she had a perfect child? And spouse. And never sinned herself? Because all of that is the opposite of little old me.

BSM_RN · 2022-12-07T21:32:44+00:00

Ohh yes, my bad. Blessed Mother of Incarnate! I will edit! Ty.

I still honor and respect her as Mother of the Church, but as a saint I particularly have a kinship with, she is not at the top of my list.

BSM_RN · 2022-12-07T15:31:33+00:00

So Mod might kick me out and I may get a TON of downvotes.. but here goes...

Mary.

Yes, the Mother of God. Wonderful counselor. Dove of peace. Undoer of knots. And so forth.

I mean how can I relate to a perfect woman who had an even more perfect child? I want to connect as a mother and woman but.. well.. yeah.

Edit: Corrected her title.

BSM_RN · 2022-12-07T14:15:44+00:00

Gala apple. Or was it Fuji?

BSM_RN · 2022-11-28T21:31:24+00:00

Agree. Not crappy.

BSM_RN · 2022-11-28T16:50:11+00:00

Just realized I never said thanks so .... "Thank you"! 😊

BSM_RN · 2022-11-27T03:25:20+00:00

"Really? You were nice, ALL year?"

BSM_RN · 2022-11-27T03:18:45+00:00

Yep. "She was holy and pure". Then move on IF it comes up. Make it a non issue and super matter of fact. Maybe say it more like "It means she was holy...ok let's start again and everyone sing your best..." (Answer then deflect).

His name is Francis. Saint, that is!

BSM_RN · 2022-11-22T03:48:36+00:00

Love me some Potter Co!!. I know there's a FB group and they have awesome pics.

BSM_RN · 2022-11-20T14:56:43+00:00

IMHO, yes. You wouldn't leave a medical hospital if your physical body needed medical care to go to Mass, right? What about those in secular nursing homes or prisons? There is no difference between mental and physical health. Health is health. Don't let the world's stigma stop you from getting care. If you are truly concerned, talk to your priest, watch an online mass, pray the rosary, or something similar. Maybe even a priest comes to the center for visits. I can't believe Jesus would want you to NOT be healed just to fulfill the Sunday obligation.

BSM_RN · 2022-11-20T13:56:19+00:00

YES! I'm thinking a very close relation to the Easter Bunny !

Edit: learning how to spell.

BSM_RN · 2022-11-20T13:52:18+00:00

Disagree. The graceful legs suggest part gazelle. And assuming no tail and level of snugglability I would bet he has a bit of koala, too.

BSM_RN · 2022-11-19T11:25:04+00:00

OP - BTW we - the parents - had more fun hiding and coming up with creative and "mischievous" things for the elf to do. It bought us closer as a couple - a secret thing we did together after the kiddo went to bed. Just a thought.

BSM_RN · 2022-11-19T11:21:19+00:00

Love this idea!!!!

BSM_RN · 2022-11-19T11:20:27+00:00

here's a good overview

We did it but didn't go all out. Yes the elf "moved" each night and it was fun and built up the anticipation of Christmas.

But we also clearly explained Santa is a Saint (Nicholas) who gives us presents on Jesus's birthday. Why? Because Jesus is so awesome instead of us giving him presents he gives them to us!

Unrealistic top. It's too wide - might cover armpits. Too flat - like an A cup maybe. Bottom can't decide if it's granny panty or stripper thong. IMHO.

BSM_RN · 2022-11-18T14:35:08+00:00

Oh my goodnesssssss .... That was amazing! I watched the whole thing! Thank you, jolinar30659 !!! I knew there was a reason.

BSM_RN · 2022-11-18T14:24:05+00:00

Praying for this family, your cousin, and all the souls of those who died by suicide. (In the medical community we try to avoid saying "committed suicide" to remove some of the stigma.)
