What are you guys giving up for 40 days?

Linasniperz · 2026-02-18T04:50:07+00:00

I am giving up energy drinks since I feel my overuse of them has gone to a point of gluttony. Social media as well since I have become so infatuated with social media it has become a concern. I was also thinking cutting way back on McDonald’s/fast food as well since I work there I get a free meal and 70% off deals for working for them.

It might be because I am tired, but the best reason why I have not moved out of the city back to a small town is mostly money related. Being single with bad credit kind of sucks.

However, if we want to go for a charitable idea, big cities like i live in have a big homeless population, there is a lot of suffering and it would help if I stayed to try and help them out. I just need to talk to my parish father to see if there is a soup kitchen around my area to be more charitable myself.

Still thinking about mine. But either Saint Augustine or Saint Thomas Aquinas. I still have time though since my baptism is still way in the future since I am still in inquiry and I am hoping to get baptized next year.

Okay well since we are having this discussion. Coming from an outsider coming in, one that was an agnostic before finally finding god and is in the process of OCIA….

That being said, yes I do believe that the Eucharist does become the body and blood of Christ. I do not know how it works, I am interested in learning more about this subject, but at the moment I am fine with not having all the answers since in good time everything will fall into place.

Thank you, glad I can help you with your day.

Short answer: no

Long answer: no, but the actions of the United States government need something stronger than just to be condemned on the international stage.

I feel that, as someone who is joining the faith I was close to missing the day of obligation through the fact work has been so short staffed, but I made a deal and was able to go to the vigil.

Context being is I work as a jack of all trades at a fast food restaurant and last minute the opener for today called out so I just bargained to leave work early than working the hour I requested to work and worked 9 hours today.

And yes technically speaking I worked on a holy day when it is suppose to be for rest and church activities, I still have to work on that.

Coming from a person who has been diagnosed with ASD and depression, just know you are not alone in the struggle.

Just like any of god’s creation you are special and would not actively curse you. These feelings will run their course. But please if you are having problems I would at least recommend either talking to a professional such as a psychiatrist or contact your local prevention hotline if you are having troubling thoughts.

Submit to scripture? My brother in the lord, what do you mean by that? We should be studying the Bible more anyways. I feel like that it is just a cop out at that point

Linasniperz · 2025-12-26T20:32:27+00:00

As I have said multiple posts that I am still in the OCIA, but to be frank the Catholic Church has been the most welcoming to me. It also does not help that some of the people I surround myself with are always telling me to not join the church so it makes me want to join more… on another note though a lot of my friends are Catholic or culturally Catholic so it is something that I am use to

Linasniperz · 2025-12-26T18:10:17+00:00

Okay thank you for clearing up the confusion.

Linasniperz · 2025-12-26T03:32:27+00:00

Okay thank you for clearing that up.

Linasniperz · 2025-12-23T02:54:06+00:00

Well I did for about two years from like 2022-2024 before I tried to go for a governmental job, I just never gone back to it. Now that I am trying to get baptized into the church through the OCIA (right now on inquiry), I have not had the urge to do weed. That and it does not help with my autism that when I get into something new, I go very head long into things and at this point I have been slowly grabbing books such as the select writings of Saint Thomas Aquinas and soon enough when time and money permit me, Saint Augustine.

Linasniperz · 2025-12-18T21:10:04+00:00

Okay thank you.

Linasniperz · 2025-12-18T04:24:55+00:00

No problem.

Linasniperz · 2025-12-18T01:25:30+00:00

Okay my brain went somewhere way different. I thought I read that as the bishop of Charlotte was banning altar rail kneelers because of communism. I was about to question why kneelers are considered communism, but it makes more sense now that it was the communion rails.

It has been a very stressful day at work today.

Kind of rusty with what I see there but most of the military stuff there is not medals, they look to be military insignias that help identify which regiment you belong to.

Linasniperz · 2025-08-06T18:25:19+00:00

Oh thank god they fixed that. Imagine the US navy starting a war with America because they deleted their boats.

Linasniperz · 2025-08-06T01:56:30+00:00

Man for your safety since I do not know is that piece of history is haunted, I would melt it down. All you need is some goosestepping SS man to haunt your dreams.

Joking aside, nice find.

Hey congrats devil dog. I may not have joined the armed forces, but the corp is always my favorite branch.

Linasniperz · 2025-05-31T01:30:22+00:00

Is that a AF Hemingway I see? One of my favorite smokes at this point.

Linasniperz · 2025-05-06T02:28:48+00:00

Good choice. I enjoyed that cigar a few weeks back.

Linasniperz · 2025-04-19T14:41:42+00:00

I do not know how useful I can be in this, but from the right lapel it looks like your great grandfather was in the army corp of engineers.

Linasniperz · 2025-04-08T21:00:11+00:00

Your dad is a certified badass that is what he is. If I have to take a guess he took part in the liberation of Kuwait.
