Theoketos Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Here is a conversation Dave and I had about Geese... Dave25704398: I've noticed more of your posts having to do with geese. Dave25704398: Why do you like them so much? MagnusTres: Actually, I struggle with a fear of them. I do not apperciate them as much as they should, as they are God's creation. MagnusTres: And I like to have running gags MagnusTres: thus I wirte about them Dave25704398: lol Dave25704398: I guess you shouldn't watch Alfred Hitchcock's movie "The Birds," then. ;-) MagnusTres: Birds are great, I think that it would be cool to be a falconer one day. MagnusTres: just geese Dave25704398: lol MagnusTres: A flock tries to eat me when I was little Dave25704398: Huh??? MagnusTres: *tries in my nightmare Dave25704398: oh, it was a nightmare MagnusTres: Actually tried when I was four MagnusTres: I was jut trying to feed ducks Dave25704398: Did you get too close, and they started coming after you, honking and stuff? MagnusTres: they bit my mom on the behind and then I yelled at them and they tried to take my bread, which I was trying to feed to the nice ducks... Dave25704398: LOL MagnusTres: ...but I would not give up the bread, and thus the mobbed me MagnusTres: Bitting my toes and fingers, I screamed in utter horror Dave25704398: awwww MagnusTres: My Dad rescued me MagnusTres: He sent them flyin when I was cryin Dave25704398: You're a poet and didn't know it! :-P MagnusTres: SOrt a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLAZEr Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I'll be your kids God Father! I'm half Corleone, you know?!!? lol, naw, really you should sit in the Church on a Tuesday and wait and see who comes in and is the most pious, most reverent, most prayerful soul you encounter and as them. A Godparent's biggest role is to pray hard for your kids and to keep in touch with them remindng them that the faith is important and will be their happines. And seriously, if you don't feeel comfortable as you look for god parents, Phatmassers will do in a pinch. You could have them be Godparents by proxy! (oh, and where in MN are you? I have friends in MN). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolmom Posted April 27, 2004 Author Share Posted April 27, 2004 We're in the Twin Cities... You as I type that, I'm thinking... Do people from the rest of the country (and Canada... and elsewhere) call the TCs the "Twin Cities" or is that another "Minnesota thing"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margarite Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I found this site that offers a directory of catholic homeschool support groups. If you do find one that is close to you, maybe it'll be a great place to make friends and future godparents. [url="http://www.catholichomeschool.org/"]http://www.catholichomeschool.org/[/url] But i would definately support the idea about the phatmass phmity. I'm sure there are some here who would make good godparents.....I wonder if the board would qualify on its own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family surrounding the baptismal font... everyone smiling... the priest is there etc... Oddly, there is a computer screen sitting on the floor... there's a looooooong extension cord running from it... My baby son is sitting on top of it, my older son stands next to it. The priest turns to me and says, "what the--?" I hang my head and explain... "Father... it's our phamily. They're the only Catholics that we know... and they have agreed to be our children's Godparents..." Father does one of these... then a ... I just don't know....

daugher-of-Mary Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 homeschoolmom, I totally sympathize. When my folks and I joined the Church 5 years ago, we knew no Catholics except for a very dear (somewhat eccentric ) Irish priest, who brought us into the Catholic Church. Since then, I've been "adopted" by numerous older couples from the parish who are somewhat startled to see me at Adoration, and make time to have a nice talk afterwards. Maybe you could just sit in the Church some afternoon and see who comes in. If someone is in church just to spend a few minutes visiting Jesus, they might very well make very good godparents for you kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
