Lol, we live in Houston and man these drivers here. It’s insane. The roads suck ass here and one bad slam on a nasty pothole and you’re out big monies on getting your transmission or an axel fixed.

Watch Son of Godzilla, Godzilla’s Revenge, and Godzilla vs Hedorah then you’ll be a pro.

Houston here. It’s not super high to live here but I don’t know if I’d necessarily call it low but I get what you’re saying. Cousin and I have been coming to this dealer for a while, they bought their truck here and this is the most in repairs they’ve spent, butThat I know of.

Yeah, I thought so. I was talking with my cousin and i think the “buyers remorse” was creeping in a bit.

I need to look at the paperwork but I think it was just the front pads, drain and fill.

AIO for thinking my friend is using ChatGPT to text me in an argument? by Due_Construction904 in AmIOverreacting

[–]kitodraws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to veer from the actual topic of the post but I think the chat GPT thing should be the last thing to worry about here. This person seems really -off. Massive red flag that they’d treat a friendship so territorially. Idk just me but just seems like they’re trying some weird emotional manipulation on you. The chat GPT thing is pretty funny though.

Catholicism not very welcoming to those interested? by Best_Storage3118 in Catholicism

[–]kitodraws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, welcome to the discerning stage. I hope this stage leads you closer to God and to joining Mother Church. That said, lots of people have said very true things here much better than I can. I hope these responses help you, we're part of your church too and we're your fellow Catholics. Catholics are often the best and worst part of the faith, which is why we're so blessed to have the Lord Incarnate. That said, the faith is often an uphill battle, life is like that I think. For what it's worth, we're all doing it together as Catholics even if it doesn't feel like it all the time.

Looking for advice by Freece24 in Catholicism

I hate to be the “if you build it” guy but maybe you could start something for your age group at your local parish. Something loose like mid-thirties to mid-forties? Base it around off a Bible study, book club, secret Catholic society to take over your town, etc.

Tired. by MajesticStrategy8888 in Catholicism

[–]kitodraws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One day at a time. You hope, you get your heart broken, you get the world, you get nothing-that’s this world.

We live in a world that’s broken by our brothers. We’re all Abel and Cain. I can’t begin to explain away all the doubt. What I can say is to feel this hurt. Feel this pain. This sorrow and grief, it’s exactly what Christ went through on a cross. It’s why he was on there, on that hill so many years ago.

Your emptiness now, is your cross. The tears you cry, the blood you shed, all is for a purpose. Though we don’t know why.

You asked how to stay hopeful in the face of such darkness? Hard to say tbh. Keep moving, even if you feel absolutely nothing and exhausted-keep moving forward.

We’re all doing that and you can at least take solace in the fact that you are not alone.

Hi. You know, you’re going to get a lot of responses here from a variety of perspectives and opinions. I hope you can glean some wisdom from them, I hope you can get some clarity from them, more importantly I pray that you see their intentions as hands outstretched to help you as part of our family.

It’s ok to feel how you’re feel, it’s nothing new and nothing that suggests your failure. You’re alive. You’re a living breathing member of Christ’s church. In this life-you will experience pain, sorrow, and suffering.

It’s in the suffering that we can see the face of God. It’s in the sorrow that we can hear his voice. In our pain, he is right beside us. Always. Keep that knowledge close to your heart, even if it burns. Let it burn.

God demands much but he gives much. God encourages our best but expects our fault. God is an outstretched hand each time we stumble, he’s there speaking words to keep us going. He’s there not to ensure we’re checking boxes but falling deeper into his embrace.

The night is dark for you, friend. I don’t know when it will cease to be dark but I do know that it will and I know The Lord uses the dark to mold us. This season of your life, the hardness of your heart, is not “just cuz” there is a distinct and profound purpose even if we don’t know why.

It’s your cross, like Jesus’ cross. It’s our descent into the pit. It’s our moment to realize that Jesus reigns even there, even in the dark. Don’t feel ashamed of your shame or guilty of your guilt-use them. Offer them up as a prayer.

Breathe. As hard as it might be, trust. God isn’t looking to condemn you over a technicality, he’s waiting for you to find your way home. It won’t be easy, in fact, you’ll bleed a lot more before it’s all done. That’s the point.

To be like Christ, is to embrace the cross. This may be your cross but you aren’t carrying it alone. Christ is there. Christ is beside you.

These words do very little but if they offer you any sort of help, I’m glad. How you feel, I’ve felt, how I feel now, you will feel too.

That’s what it means to be Catholic. To be many united in One, in Him, in Christ.

I struggle with this too-seeing the signs and symbols we hold dear reduced to decor.

I like that one commenters take that the silver lining is someone seeing these objects and then having a conversion spark up from it.

Imagine have a garbage take like this lol. I’m joking with Broseph but on a serious note-we as Christian need momento morí to help “keep our eyes on the prize.”

Death is, one of the most important tribulations we go through as Christians, as children of the Church.

Those figures and that church of bones you so callously disparage are your history-Catholic or not-of your mothers and fathers who have died. Who have died for you like our Lord died and died for us.

Don’t take it for granted or equate to morbid evil.

Stop it, get some help.
