Je marche seule
Had a pretty good chat with my brother just then, before he went off to bed. Now that im in uni, i keep forgetting that year 12 is pretty difficult for most students, and at that particular stage of life, they really need our support. Us who have been through the HSC ourselves can give them valuable support and advice in my opinion, perhaps even more so than their tutors outside of school should they have any! Hmm must remember to pray for my brother regularly and give him some help with the subjects he's doing that i know what i'm on about!!! Must make that a priority as his half-yearlys approach!
Went to St Johns meeting last night, which went pretty well i felt!! My dad has been so nice lately, driving me around (cos we've only got the one car at the moment). Must buy him a packet of minties or something soon hehe! I did buy him one, a jumbo pack too, but i went over to a friend's place today and thought it'd be nice to take something along, so being in a hurry, i grabbed the first unopened packet of food i found =P
Hehe St Johns is having a social BBQ night next tues, if anyone's interested! Like if u wanted to find out what we do on a causal basis, then yeh, good opportunity. I could hardly believe it though, when they told us about it last night, and invited partners of members along. Like a lot of them are married, or engaged, and most of the unmarried ones are going out with someone ... so yeah it was a great idea i reckon! But what about me?? Hehe even at St Johns i feel pressured to have a boyfriend....aiiii =P Hehe my mum's response: "then just go and randomly find some guy now"... my dad's response: "i feel that you don't have to do so that quickly". Hmmmm who should i listen to =P
Ohhh lately i've been investigating what Catholicism is about, as some of u know cos ive asked some people about it. A friend lent me a book by Tony Coffey "Once a Catholic" and ive just finished typing up some notes from it, so yeah, if anyone's interested =) I've taken notes about the following questions:
- Who speaks for God?
- Who gave us the Bible?
- Which is the one true Church?
- Is the Papacy taught in Scripture?
- Did the first Christians believe in the Mass?
- Should we go to confession?
- Who are God's priests?
- What about Mary?
- What about purgatory?

Hey how old are the other people at St John's? I guess you must be one of the younger ones there - if so then it's not so strange to be one of the few singles...
Your parents are funny =) But yeah, don't feel pressured!
Your notes about catholicism sound interesting! Maybe you can post it up somewhere.
people at St John are of all different ages
hmmm regarding the notes on catholicism, for several reasons, i don't think it'd be the wisest thing for me to post it up, so if anyone's interested, let me know and ill send them to u
btw, the notes are 11 pages long, but it's still a pretty brief summary excluding examples shared by the author, so what would be even better would be to read the book for yourself =)
Okay, it makes sense that you don't want to post them up. But can you send it to me? Maybe after looking at them I'll decide I want to read the book. Or maybe I'll decide I don't want to read the book... =)
