"We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop." ~ Blessed Mother Teresa
Instead of going into a deep topic today, I thought it would be nice to throw in something fun for you! Check out this website where you can test your Catholic IQ. There are quite a few questions, so give yourself a good amount of time to do it [around an hour]. You’ll see your results at the end for each category of questions, which will then be made into an IQ number. Put your smarty pants on and go test your knowledge of the Catholic faith!
With elections in the near future, pro-lifers are rooting to get our most pro-abortion president (in history) out of office, and for good reasons. Here are two reasons YOU should help vote Obama out of office this November:
1. He’s like a broken record. He makes promises he never keeps, as shown in this video comparing recent videos to ones taken four years ago.
2. He voted against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, not once, but four times. This bill would have given any child born the right to medical care, including babies born from botched late-term abortions.
Without going into any economic details, it makes me shudder to think what could potentially happen with this man as our president for four more years. I’ve been hearing a lot about the movie 2016:Obama’s America, which lays out information about him most people don’t know. Have you seen the movie? What are your thoughts on Obama, and why or why would you not vote for him in the upcoming election?
Sometimes life throws you curve-balls. No, God sends you curve-balls. And how you react to said curve-balls is how your life turns out. Here’s an inspiring video of a woman and mother who made the right choice when her life didn’t turn out as planned.
Ever participated in a discussion which ended with the other person saying “Well, I guess we agree to disagree”? I have. Many times. And it really bugs me.
The conversations were all the same: I posted something (article, graphic, status), the person commented on it, we talked, they couldn’t refute what I said, then they ended the conversation by saying “I guess we agree to disagree.”
Funny thing? I never agreed to disagree. I simply stated my opinion on something. By commenting and starting a discussion, people invite me to explain my point of view and listen to theirs. When things get a little more intense, however, people tend to shy away and just shut the conversation down when they don’t know what to say. Why? I think people do this because there’s nothing else to do. If you don’t have statistics and facts backing your point of view up, it’s pretty hard to support your argument for long. You can only repeat rhetoric the media tells you for so long.
When you get to that point in a conversation where you realize things are getting intense, a decision has to be made: Will you continue to support your opinion which has been proven to be flawed? Will you take your new-found information and re-evaluate your position? Or will you shut logic and facts out of your mind and cut off the conversation? To me, shutting down the conversation is a sure sign of weakness in your argument. If you can’t support your position, either you don’t know enough about what you’re saying, or what you’re saying is wrong.
If you get into a conversation and it looks like you might not be right, have the character to admit you might be wrong. However, when you get into a discussion about something you have a strong opinion about (abortion or gay marriage for example) and do have facts and logic to back you up, don’t falter. Show the truth.
“Be watchful, stand firm in your faith, be courageous, be strong. Let all you do be done in love.” ~ 1 Corinthians 16:13 – 14
Margaret Sanger, the woman responsible for much of the development of the modern birth control pill, was a terrifying woman. Not only did she want to make the world dependent on birth control, but she wanted to exterminate “undesirable” (black, minority) people by forcing sterilization, birth control, and family size limits. The woman had some terribly twisted views of the human person. See for yourself in this interview:
