You put a lot o...Wow Laini, what a beautiful post! You put a lot of good information in it for others to learn. But what I am very, very most impressed with is your compassion. Surely you did what Jesus would have done. You went and held the hand of those who were dying. While Jesus did say "go and sin no more," He also said, "neither do I condemn you!" And surely you did not condemn! How beautiful that you took each one of them and loved them. You loved them as Jesus would have loved the outcast in His day, the lepers... <BR/><BR/>I guess I also what to say that I commend you for staying a good and pure example for those around you before marriage. While this is expected of us by the Lord, it does not make it easy! John and I did the same, which was seven years. Was it easy? No, sometimes it was hard, LOL! Okay, because he was like, a really nice guy! But know what? Who says God promises that everything in life would be easy? Of course He does make it easy to an extent, but every good thing in life comes with a little price, right? And it was definitely, definitely worth it, absolutely no question in my mind. I did it for the Lord I loved, and for the example of those around me, to draw them to the Lord... <BR/><BR/>Thanks for doing this post, Laini, it was beautiful.<BR/><BR/>Krissy :)<BR/>visit my main blog: <A HREF="http://sometimesithink-krissy.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Sometimes I Think</A>krissy knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14541923934162365673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362212072596117886.post-7854419101630743022008-12-02T19:49:00.000-08:002008-12-02T19:49:00.000-08:00Laini,Larry & I did the same thing.

Thankfully neither of us had previous sexual relationships to bring into the marriage, so our marriage bed was pure & we've had the joy & honor of being with (only!) each other all these years. So...bravo!!!!

I know he hears me, I just hope he listens, but I pray for him.<BR/><BR/>bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362212072596117886.post-20303952020666863932008-12-01T15:26:00.000-08:002008-12-01T15:26:00.000-08:00Our belief is the same.

As in all religions there are those that don't follow the beliefs but still call themselves a Catholic. Our Lord loves us all no matter. I know I seem old fashioned to some too, but it is what I believe. You are a very special person to have nursed those AIDS patients.I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.com
