she_who_is_not Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I wonder how many of the babies will have vocations? Welcome Anne! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 [quote name='missionseeker' timestamp='1320370827' post='2331080'] well as far as babies of PMers, there're probably 10 times that. But as far as babies that exist because of PM, we are at 5. [/quote] well, yes, perhaps...i was thinking more existentially...who knows if i wouldn't have found phatmass if my mind would have ever been changed on birth control? brother adam & his wife converted, in part, because of phatmass....perhaps before they converted, they wouldn't have been as open to life as they are now? ahhh, but i'm arguing in someone else's thread (welcome to phatmass, indeed!)

AnneLine Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) Warning--Phatmass can cause babies, fun, vocations - and water bills to rise! I did 3 loads of laundry (every time I checked my email and sent another post). Perhaps being in the Phamily really will be good for me. Not so sure about the vocation or babies... at least for me - I suspect my husband would be VERY suprised if either happened (think the 2nd Joyful Mystery....) Thank you so much to all who welcomed me... I lost count but will catch you in weeks to come. This is fun! (But like marriage and religious life, I know it won't always be so.... so good to bank a little for the future....) Now I have to go fix dinner!

fides quarens intellectum Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 [quote name='AnneLine' timestamp='1320357615' post='2330931'] Fides -- are you the one with the baby? Providing that you are open to wating that long, I'm hoping for 11-11-11 at 11:11! (That would make both you and the 'lil one Veterans![/quote] Thank you - yes, i'm one of the ones waiting for a healthy baby - another week, though?! j/k.

fides quarens intellectum Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 [quote name='AnneLine' timestamp='1320369728' post='2331048'] I should have delurked long ago... .but I don't trust myself to stay on target with the rest of my life now that I am signed on here.... 8) Lurking, yes - however, HSM, it was only the nicest kind of lurking.... I prayed for you all! I found Phatmass a few years ago when I was doing some religious life research for someone I was helping hunt for religious communities that would accept 'older' vocations (and it is a popular topic, you know it....) Phatmass kept coming up... and I kept thinking, what is THAT? Followed by, why would anyone in their right mind post on an open forum like that.... and then I realized that so many people were looking for the same info that I was searching.... and realized THAT is what the value is of Phatmass... Perhaps the Holy Spirit is involved here, too..... I can attest to several people who have been helped - and healed - by reading some of the Phatmass postings.... and they wouldn't have had the nerve to sign up.... so there is value in the open to all eyes policy I think. BUT... HSM's response is a good reminder--whatever we put on here is... open. But shouldn't that be how all our actions are done - open for God? Hopefully? I've always loved St. Maximillian Kolbe's comment regarding the new technology of his day (radio and film I think?) -- paraphrasing, "We need to use these new things; why should we let Satan have all the good toys?" Indeed! Have a blessed evening everyone! [/quote] all glory to God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
