I really have no excuse for it other than sheer laziness and despondency, but, I've been out of attendance for a couple of months now. I have a bit of anxiety about walking back through those doors to face 200 some odd people, knowing that I have nothing to say in my own defense. I went into a...

Would you believe it if I told you? I have found a home with a congregation of Spirit-filled believers. 10+ years ago I was an Orthodox inquirer and you were trying to help me understand. I suppose it's all in the Lord's timing. You might call me a "holy roller" now. I got my fire baptism, all...

We had a very powerful movement of God in our church service last night. There's nothing like the whole house coming together into an atmosphere of praise. The Lord heard us and visited us in His grace, drawing us to pray and press into His presence. We prayed unto sweat and tears. We had...

A friend of mine gave me a couch from her basement as a house-warming gift, but, the thing is, I also inherited the old musky cat urine smell... I need solid, tried and true advice on how to get that stench out. :(

A really promising job has a position that I'd love to have, doing shipping and receiving and eRetail work for a down home local knife and gear store, it's full time and no work on Sundays, and I need the extra hours and the ability to go to church every week. I'm asking my Catholic brethren...

A really promising job has a position that I'd love to have, doing shipping and receiving and eRetail work for a down home local knife and gear store, it's full time and no work on Sundays, and I need the extra hours and the ability to go to church every week. Please lift up my intention in prayer.

Off-Topic, not Old Testament. :P I'm trying to get my hair to stay in that slicked back "greaser" look, but no matter what I do it wants to poof up on top and stand too high off my scalp. Any of you have tips on how to keep it slicked back and train it down? I've been wanting to wear this style...

Are there any among you who would want to help resurrect an old but not forgotten undertaking, Desert Calling? If not, I humbly understand. It won't be immediately -- I still have to make my return and pick up that cross again... but it's in my mind and on my heart. Reply or PM me.

Yesterday, my girlfriend and I visited my grandparents church. They had invited us several times over the past little while and we decided to go ahead and go. It was nice -- holiness churches definitely aren't my first choice but there were people there on fire for worship and all in all we had...

I just started watching Fullmetal Alchemist on Netflix, and I'm around episode 20. Awesome stuff. Three friends of mine have claimed if their favorite anime, and although I was skeptical at first, I'm really surprised at how good it is. Can't wait to finish it up. :clap:

I speak with both humility and honesty. I am not under the direction of a priest or attending any sort of church. I was an inquirer/catechumen for a few years before I fell away. I couldn't tell you exactly why I stopped. It had to do with a lot of things. I became shaky in my faith, very...

Say a little prayer for me. In a nutshell, just a dark night of the soul. I get little glimpses now and again ... but otherwise, darkness. Have any of you been here before? It would help me to know that I'm not the only one who's done a little more than just "lost his way." I feel...

Just saying! :holy:

I hope I'm not opening a can of worms, if so, I fully agree with moderators closing this thread up if OBOB decides it's best. I was wondering what the average Catholic's opinion of Vatican II is. I've heard things from different camps, but I'd like to hear what you guys have to say in reference...

Can you explain where the Rosary came in? The history of it? Can you tell me the prayers and add anything in you feel is beneficial? How does it differ from the Orthodox prayer rope? I'm curious. :)
