I need good luck tomorrow! - ZEFRANK.COM

Well, here it is. The day is arriving soon. I am getting baptized, confirmed, and first eucharist tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. I tried on my new dress, no problem there, but the shoes, I am very worried about. I practiced walking around in the shoes. Please pray for me dear zemonkeys, that I don't trip and fall on my face. The shoes are fairly low, but I am use to boots or tennis shoes...Hopefully the practice pays off tomorrow night. Happy Easter!

You can do it! I could use a prayer myself. Congratulations Klynne!

Bring a snorkel. Some of those preachers keep you under for longer than 3 minutes... just to make sure you're not a witch.

sparticle · 04-10-2004, 03:23 AM

Good for you, Klynne. *hugs*, thoughts, good wishes and prayers to you!

Willow Sylph · 04-10-2004, 03:59 AM

Congrats and good luck, Klynne. You'll do fine!

Are you going to wear booties? I think the best Baptists wear rubber booties.

BEST OF LUCK TO YOU, KLYNNE! BREAK A LEG (FIGURATIVELY, NOT LITERALLY!).

Thanks for your support! I did not fall on my face as I had expected!

Happy Easter to all of you. I hope the bunny brings you something nice. Lurves you all.

Came in here to see how it went ... nice to see good news! Congrats, Klynne!

Audreyvgs · 04-12-2004, 05:48 PM

Well, are you certified?

catbelly · 04-12-2004, 06:17 PM

Or, certifiable?

Klynne · 04-12-2004, 10:39 PM

Audrey and Cat,

I guess I am certified and a certifiable card carrying Catholic now. All my sins were washed away Saturday night with my baptism. Whew, 36 years of sinning....What a relief

I am counting up my sins now, and so far, I have lied twice, and cursed a half a dozen times. However, I have not committed murder, adultry, or worshiped false idols yet, well unless you consider watching tv worshipping false idols.

Seriously, it is one of the best things I have done, and I am glad I committed myself to this venture. It has brought me peace. Well enough of being mushy....

why is it one of the best things you've ever done

(not joking, just curious)

Klynne · 04-12-2004, 11:04 PM

For many years, I have felt that something has been missing in my life, despite the fact that I have a good job, and friends, and family that love me, something was missing.

I attended church from the time I was 12 to the time I was 18, and then life happened, and I stepped away from it.

I found myself to be increasingly unhappy over the past several years, and my best friend took me back to the catholic church about a year ago. After a few services, I felt so at ease, after I left. I would go into mass, angry, and tense, and then, a peace would settle over me during the service. That is when I decided, I would like this sense of peace all of the time, and made the committment to be baptized, and join the church.

I think just believing in a higher being than one's self, can really help. I tried to control everything in my life, and you know what? I could not. Having God to pray to helps. I have let go of being a control freak, and I leave it up to God. I am not a bible thumper by any means, and maybe some people may think I am being weak by giving my problems up to God. But, I don't care what others think, I am at peace with myself, and can finally sleep at night. I don't worry anymore, my life is in God's hands. Klynne, aka, bible thumper
