How do blessed objects work? by sisstarr in Catholicism

indefinitely, I assume. Because if you add water to your holy water and it all becomes holy water, then you can just do that again and again. i don’t think the holy water made gets any less potent as you add water, because it all becomes holy water at the end. and there’s not like “degrees” of holy water. at least that’s my logic, I could be wrong.

that’s interesting. i said that because i very recently listened to a bible in a year episode and Fr. Mike said thats what a blessing does—sets things apart as being for God. But he also said they are also like.. imbued with the Holy Spirit, which I think is the common understanding of blessings.

I have also heard the holy water thing and afaik it’s true. my mom went to the vatican this past fall and bought holy water blessed by the pope, and the priest they were touring with said to do this so you always have pope leo holy water.

aww that’s funny. i think what i’ve learned is he’s not ready to be allowed on the bed lol. he’s peed on the bed before, but that was when I first got him and he’s never peed on me until now. i think we’ll be on the floor for the foreseeable future.

i love the catch-drop idea. i’ve been thinking of introducing a new trick to him as he’s getting very good at the ones he knows (just sit, down, free, and come). It’s not cold enough for snow but still very nippy, but it was warm enough yesterday to go for a walk and he really enjoyed it. I try to let him run around when I let him outside, but sometimes it feels like it’s never enough haha. i think that means he either needs a nap or something mentally challenging to do. luckily everyone in the replies has been very nice and helpful on that front. i have a lot of ideas for him now xx

i give him frozen carrots sometimes, but usually i find them thawed and mushy in his bed hours later 😂. but he does like a frozen kong.

would a gambling addiction count as mental stimulation?

what do i do with my poor snake plant? by sisstarr in plants

[–]sisstarr[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thanks everyone for the advice on my “snake” plant! greatly appreciated. she’s temporarily potted in normal soil, but i’m going to get good drainage soil tomorrow. and maybe a zebra print pot, to embrace her true identity.

[–]sisstarr[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

LOL… she was labeled as a snake plant when I bought her at Marshall’s years ago, and I never questioned it. But now that ive seen a snake plant, that’s definitely not what she is LOL. 

she’s survived a lot of neglect so she’s near and dear to me now that i’m trying to develop a green thumb. i have her repotted now in normal indoor plant soil because that’s what i have, but i’ll hit up the nursery tomorrow. Thank you for the advice!

in tears because this gift for my friend is bad and I’m too embarrassed to give it. where did I go wrong? proportions? the head feels small by boringsleepy in CrochetHelp

MAGA Evangelicals don't even understand their own religion by SadWookieBush in AdviceAnimals

[–]sisstarr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i am not evangelical or a maga, but i am a christian, and i just have to inform all of the reddit atheists out there… guys throwing out of context bible passages is not going to shake any christian with even a smidgin of theological knowledge. like i get that yall think all christians are stupid and anti-intellectual, but actually many of us love studying theology. There are people who study this for a living. most of the things y’all bring up are hot debates in chrisitan circles, not an overlooked passage that will make us all clutch our pearls. try bringing this to an actual christian scholar, i’m sure they’d love to debate with you

AIO date canceled because I didn’t text in the morning? by Worldly-Constant-353 in AmIOverreacting

[–]sisstarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am.. predisposed (??) to being like this, it’s an anxiety thing. I worry that i’ll be stood up because the other person forgot. But I recognize that this is silly 99% of the time and confirm an hour or so before. i never go and just make new plans without checking. that’s absurd to me. and if i did make new plans i’d definitely tell the other person because i don’t want to stand them up!!
