@HARK! Welcome to the forum!

It is also Latin with the same meaning. I chose it on purpose as my Confirmation name in the Catholic Church. I was born in 1943.

Oh I believe the suicide was caused by his loneliness and the fact no one had anything good to say to him or about him. He scarcely knew anyone who was not Portuguese as his English was so bad. His wife did not help the situation. Our little town of about 1,000 was primarily Catholic with only...

Indeed God sent us helpers to help get to a place where we no longer need them: "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till...

I guess that there really are still a lot of Superman fans... The following I copied from the "Superman Homepage": Superman: Truth, Justice, and the American Way "Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound" 1938 was a dark...

But actually if another person has a message from God that he speaks to us, is that not really God's voice speaking audibly? I know people are thinking of a voice from no visible source, but certainly God is not so limited as that in His ability to communicate with people...

And you know this because God spoke to you or...? Are you then the only one of His sheep here?

Two things immediately came to my mind when I read this: One is simply living from pay check to pay check. I was there once as a young man. The other way is as per these words: "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient...

I remember when I started school in the 1st grade in 1948 [no kindergarten in that school then] the teacher told us what the rules of behavior in the classroom were. For talking without permission she would hit us on the back of the hand with a wooden ruler. I only received it once. Once we got...

I did receive corporal punishment myself as a child, but never excessively. My wife and I also similarly disciplined our two children and when we were caring for them, our grandchildren. If anyone spanking children is sinning it would be because of what is in their heart rather than because the...

Welcome to the forum. I believe they have a minimum number of posts requirement to post links. One of the moderators can give you specifics.

@My Dreams Praying for God's blessings and guidance!

Well for me even before this isolationism, my wife and I were already minimal travelers. We loved to travel but our bodies often did not want to cooperate so we could enjoy it. This thing just took us another step into our isolationism. I've never studied Portuguese and my step-father normally...

Apology certainly accepted. Your response here was closer to what I had expected from you. Yes, communication is often a problem for me as well and likely all of us. I also tend sometimes to draw conclusions based on previous experiences with other people. I wish you the best as well.

I also have had a Portuguese connection. My step-father, now deceased grew up in the Azores, a Portuguese island group in the Atlantic Ocean. His first language was Portuguese. We used to love to go to the Portuguese celebrations in California. The food was outstanding. My mother, an real Okie...

I remember when we had two Nancys on one forum and neither one of them was you. With two we had to be careful so as to not credit the wrong person with the right view or vice versa. Here at least you are the one and only Nancy. Thank you for blessing us with your presence.
