Welcome to the St. Mark Youth L.I.F.E. Blog. This blog is run by your friendly St. Mark Youth Minister, Janet, and was created to be a medium for sharing information and ideas. Primarily this will serve as a way to offer a current schedule of events and activities, complete with up to date changes and plenty of reminders. As the blog grows there will be weekly reflections, articles of interst, and links to other cool Catholic blogs and web sites.
I want to encourage everyone to share their thoughts and questions by posting responses to the posts. Also, if anyone finds something that should be added email it to me and I'll look in to posting it. My hope is that this resource will be very useful and that the youth of st. Mark will visit it and contribute to it often.
Your Friendly Youth Minister,
Janet

I have a friend, Rachael. She is a vegan and a Reform Jew, but a confused one. She doesn't believe in legislating morality beyond the basics. For example, she hates abortion, but she thinks governments have no place illegalizing it. I have been talking and instant messaging her for a time. She was taught to look at a verse or passage and believe whatever she interpreted it to mean, as long as she could justify it based on the Biblical text.
She has said that she doesn't know what she believes regarding same-sex marriage. I have shown her Genesis 19 and other passages, but she has a mental block regarding it. The propaganda spread by the left has affected her; she interprets the First Amendment incorrectly and is confused between religion and morality. She seems to think it would not be tolerant to legislate what she thinks of as religious issues. She is very ingrained against "forced religion," in her words. But she seems open to me and my beliefs when I talk to and IM her about these things.
I would very much like to put her in touch with a priest, such as Father Harris. I'm not sure how to set that up or how to put it to her, but I think that would be the best thing to happen right now. Could you help?
Nick,
Thank you for posting your question. I'm happy to help in any way possible. I want to start by asking if this is something that your friend wants to do or something that you want your friend to do. If she is not open to hearing the truth then no amount of talking to anyone will change anything. We're not just talking about changing someone's politics and opinions, we're talking about converting someone's heart. Conversion of heart is often times a slow and painful process that requires lots paitience and support.
My advice would be to start with prayer. Pray for your friend. Pray your friend will be open to the beauty of God's Truth. Pray that she'll allow heart to be broken and rebuilt by God. Pray that you have the strength to be her friend. Secondly, if you can you should bring her to our L.I.F.E. Event/Party on Sunday, December 3rd. I'd love to meet her and maybe that would be a good time for us to arrange a meeting for us either alone or with Fr. Harris.
I hope this helps you out, even just a little and I hope see you on Sunday evening. If you have any other questions about this situation please direct them to my email:janetheva@hotmail.com
Blessings,
Janet
As you are likely to expect, all from the will build toward a state of sexual arousal. While they've already long been most typically associated with gratification, they can also be used as foreplay with your partner or sometimes as treatment for sizegenetics ejaculation. Throughout the past, it was not an easy matter to find a male sizegenetics therapist who is skilled in erotic gay sizegenetics. Fortunately for all of us, the telephone and word-of-mouth has been supplanted by the Internet. It gives you options that will enables you to shape the entire experience as part of your dreams and desires.
