Do the 10 commandments mean anything to you?

So, Moses was apparently 120 years old when he was given the 10 commandments about 3,500 years ago, when the Israelites were wondering around in the wilderness!  Seriously, do they mean anything to us today?

Think, do you think these commandments are still important or are they out of date? Why?

What would be your new top 5 commandments of the 21st century?

Should we all just stick to the status quo?

Hello girlies,

So we're thinking about belonging ... in the words of High School Musical should we mess with the flow or just stick to the status quo?  There seem to be a lot of people in life who are prepared to just accept life as it is and not challenge situations just to fit in.  What do you think it means to fit in?  Should you change who you are to fit in?  What if being who you are means you feel alone?  Is it worth it?  So the question is it more important to fit in and belong?  Or be who you are?  What brings true happiness? 

Think big,  give examples ask me questions!

Happy blogging!

Why is the Pope so important to Catholics?

Dear All,

Think.  Reflect.  Why is the Pope important to Catholics?  What is it about what he does?  Who he represents that is so important?  Express your opinions here.

Will going to see the Pope make you a good Catholic?

For Catholics the Pope is the spiritual head of the Catholic Church.  Pope Benedict is the 265th spiritual descendent of the first Pope, Peter.  By going to see him, Catholics making that journey are going on a pilgrimage ... a journey to bring them closer to God.  You are going to a place to meet with God.  Do you think every Catholic should try to go on a pilgrimage to a holy place?  It could be to see the Pope, or it could be to another place where something religious has happened.  Is going on a pilgrimage going to make you a good Catholic?  Why?  Why not?  Is there something else Catholics should do instead?

Think big!
