Receiving Holy Communion is a very special sacrament that is part of the Catholic mass, by receiving Jesus into our body through the Eucharist we affirm our faith in the church. I’m not the best catholic, I don’t go to confession or mass every Sunday but,
when I see Nancy Pelosi defying the...
I was lucky enough to visit the Netherlands a few years ago. Utrecht was by far my favorite location, we stayed in an ancient canal house. It is a lovely city, with lots to see and do.
I’m curious whether your belief in a higher power was something that gradually dissolved or if it disappeared quickly following a tragic event in your life. Personally, while my faith sometimes may waver, so far it has never died.
No doubt going to Catholic school for eight years ingrained...
Yes, I do believe in an afterlife otherwise, what would point of our existence. Life would be meaningless.
It is the process of dying that scares me. Working in healthcare I see it all of the time, terminally ill patients being offered every type of medical treatment and given false hope. My...
It is ironic how the older we get, the more accepting of our inevitable death we become. My own death is still the scariest thing that I can think of, that or even worse one of my children. Maybe for some people the aches and pains of old age, loneliness and despair become too much and death is...
Cleaning the house is something that I do to relieve stress. The other day I felt particularly stressed out and I took apart my kitchen faucet to get all of the caked on grime that had accumulated in between the various parts.
I had a hard time putting it back together, so it kinda defeated...
I don’t know why they call this RNA shot a vaccine. The data seems clear that that it does not give one immunity, it does not stop the spread of infection, and multiple boosters are required to maybe give a bit more protection against the latest COVID-19 variant.
What I mean is climate change is bad for humans, not animals and plants, maybe even beneficial for them
The main problem is over population and destruction of earths natural habitat. Once the land is destroyed, it is hard to imagine that it can ever be recovered. And the extinct animal...
I am not very worried about climate change. I think that rising CO2 levels are not necessarily a bad thing and may actually be a positive factor for the earths flora.
I would be more concerned if temperatures were steadily falling and earth was entering into another ice age.
There are some that say, and I tend to agree that the root of all anxiety, phobia, OCD, mental disorders etc. stems from the fear of death. . . Thanatophobia.
It could very well be that because we are so focused on ourselves we have become more afraid of dying then we might have been thousands...
I agree with you Angela, it is the parents who ultimately bear the responsibility of what their children are eating and how much.
It’s not easy sometimes, I know . . . my son has always been a big eater and was chubby when he was a child.
If I allowed him to eat unlimited amounts of junk food he...
^ it’s okay I think, to have a little bit of soda and junk food, so long as you burn more calories then you take in.
The fashion today has changed.
Back in the 1980’s and 90’s we had the super models, ultra thin women who set the standard. Nowadays it is fashionable to have a big but and the...
Type 2 diabetes has now become epidemic in America’s youth. These children more prone to other diseases and will be on medication for the rest of their lives.
It’s really sad to see so many over weight unhealthy kids, because of too much unhealthy food and not enough exercise.
I suppose the...
Well said real expert!
Happiness is such a fleeting emotion and what you’re saying about chasing after pleasure and instant gratification being a source of depression makes sense to me. Pleasure never lasts and it is a poor substitute for long term happiness.
At this stage of my life, I am...
