Just keep working on it because it's a lifetime process. <BR/><BR/>2. If you're not praying, then your reading and learning are for nothing. Take time to pray in silence, or before the Blessed Sacrament, and don't blend reading/learning with that time. <BRAdorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1927712697319129021.post-7803282820691635672009-02-06T05:11:00.000-05:002009-02-06T05:11:00.000-05:00Part of confirmation is receiving the grace to spr...Part of confirmation is receiving the grace to spread and defend our faith. Sometimes it happens when you least expect it.<BR/><BR/>I do youth evangelization for a living, but getting dinner togo at a local coffee shop this evening provided an opportunity to chat with a guy that worked there about marriage. We didn't get into deep, but he expressed his doubts about ever getting married due to EEHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328529137393602725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1927712697319129021.post-87556194856072772282009-02-05T21:07:00.000-05:002009-02-05T21:07:00.000-05:00So if nobody reads your blog, does that make me a ...So if nobody reads your blog, does that make me a nobody? :))<BR/><BR/>If you were Methodist, like me, I'd say pursue seminary. Since I don't really know about your church, how is the youth program or even children's ed program structured? Would that be a way for you to teach, preach, etc in a setting where you were initially more comfortable? What about a women's Bible study?

They run through my head quite regularly. There is a book I have read and worked through many a time. I also loan it on a regular basis. Since you live too far for that, I will find it for you online and get the info to you. I can't recall the title just now, sorry. I will work on it. You are not alone :)<BR/>peaceDeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07393591556915882130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1927712697319129021.post-13251029379626662292009-02-05T12:39:00.000-05:002009-02-05T12:39:00.000-05:00Ebeth,Take a look at my blog post from today.

Don't do anything except pray and blog and let the Holy Spirit find for you what you think you are looking for - and if God doesn't do that - it'll only becuase He's got something even better planned for you.<BR/>Meanwhile, have a good day!Ann Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01450326751657089715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1927712697319129021.post-45434845442076760462009-02-03T20:30:00.000-05:002009-02-03T20:30:00.000-05:00You teach what you want to learn and you'll know w...You teach what you want to learn and you'll know when you're ready when the opportunity presents itself. Simple!<BR/><BR/>Life really is much simpler than people make it out to be. I also think the concept of a having spiritual adviser is waaaaay over-rated. It appears to be a rather new idea for what we simply called "confession."<BR/><BR/>I'm thinking of a certain blogger who is so steeped in Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01562944653624224107noreply@blogger.com
