I've been slacking a bit on my posts so this should be a good long one
Like Julie, I really don't mean this to be offensive or judgmental & I certainly am not trying to point fingers. I just think us Catholics need to challenge ourselves to make choices based on Truth rather than on our personal feelings. If we believe that the Church's teachings truly come from the Word of God then we should
want to follow them. That doesn't mean it isn't heartbreaking or gutwrenching at times to do so, but it is necessary. The fact that God allows us to use technology the way we want only means that He allows us to use our free will, not that He approves of the way we use it. Fertility technology is man-made, not given to us by God. So we must consider these man-made things in the light of Truth. If Truth tells us that what is God-made is harmed by what is man-made, then God-made must always win out no matter how strongly we feel about it emotionally. I hope that made sense... I think it did...
LL- I wish I had cable! I really want to see that 30 days thing! Maybe my sis will let me come over & watch.
tigir- I found a GREAT book on prayer: Prayer For Beginners by Peter Kreeft. It is really awesome & gave me so much insight into prayer(I
really struggle). Anyway, I'd recommend it to everyone no matter where you are at on the prayer scale(is there a scale?? I don't know...)
Happy Wednesday to all my Catholic cysters! You are all awesome!
