** I just hope this doesn't trigger a remark on Free Republic in the near future about how flawed our Catholic saintmaking process is!!**
Believe me I am no saint.
Pride is my biggest sin. We have been putting on these Faith formation 101 evenings for the third year now and we always have an evaluation form at the end of each series (Advent/Lent). Last week, a person who came to one for the FIRST time sent me an email with about seven criticisms in it about how we put on the evening. Some were legitmate -- like continuing to clear the table once the speaker had started speaking. Others were just nit-pik stuff. I talked with two other people during the week and they told me they were not offended by some of the things.
So I went to confession to a visiting priest. Oooooooooh. What did he give me for a penance. A whole Rosary. Haven't had one of those since I was a teenager.
So, still working on the pride.
The sloth is one that I am working on too. Although I consider all the volunteering I do at church as close to work -- and not sloth. Anyway......I procrastinate and don't get things done at home. Sounds like we might be soul-sisters.
BTW, I have always respected your feedback on any thread because of your thoughtfulness and ability to express yourself well and concisely. I tend to ramble. (must be the pride again..........LOL!)
May God continue to bless you.
It attacks me from just about every angle and in a wide variety of disguises . . .
. . . and then the sloth gets after me. I can waste a whole morning doing "not much". . .

Great post, Salvation. :)
