Yes - thank you Jesus!
Father K - the Catholic Church needs to allow people to be confident in their salvation since Christ's death and resurrection has defeated sin once and for all, and people CAN live a life in that glory! Jesus wanted us to take hold of that joy and live it, not stand back and admire it, waiting for the future!
Catholics spend so much of their life looking inward and purifying sensations of guilt with human ritual that they miss the joy that is meant to permeate life in Christ! Yes, there are trials and tribulations in this fallen world, but those who have taken up their cross to follow Him do so gladly, and live a fuller, happier, more exciting life as a result.

yes i have. by my boyfriend. i get drunk once and he was really against it. ever since that time all i wanted to do was get drunk. i was adopted because my grandparents from my birth mom were both alcoholics and it was too hard alcoholism is hereditary and i think i probably would have gotten it. anyway, my boyfriend fianlly told me that he cant go out with me if i want to drink, because it is too hurtful for him to see me do that. And he told me i had to pick him or drinking. I picked him and have not gotten drunk for over a year. If not for him i think i would be an alchoholic. he has saved me and i love him more than anything. i am so thankful to God for sending him to me.
i dont drink or do drugs are anything and i am so happy about that. i see all my friends getting wasted every weekend and its just stupid and immature. he has helped me grow up a lot.

John Donne (1572-1631)
Holy Sonnet XIV:
Batter My Heart, Three-Person'd God
Batter my heart, three person'd God; for, you
As yet but knocke, breathe, shine, and seeke to mend;
That I may rise, and stand, o'erthrow mee,'and bend
Your force, to breake, blow, burn and make me new.
I, like an usurpt towne, to'another due,
Labour to'admit you, but Oh, to no end,
Reason your viceroy in mee, mee should defend,
But is captiv'd, and proves weake or untrue.
Yet dearley'I love you,'and would be loved faine,
But am betroth'd unto your enemie:
Divorce mee,'untie, or breake that knot againe,
Take mee to you, imprison mee, for I
Except you'enthrall mee, never shall be free,
Nor ever chast, except you ravish mee.
Notes
5. To ursurp something is to take over something that does not belong to you. A coup d'etat, for example, is an instance of usurpation: a military officer deposes the legally constituted government, and assumes control of the powers of state.
7. A viceroy is an official appointed by the king (Fr. roi) to rule in his stead, on his behalf. Such officials were especially necessary to the governance of remote colonies in the eras before rapid communication.
9. would be loved faine: "Fain" is a now archaic intensifier that meant "very much like to." To say "I would fain be your friend" meant "I would very much like to be your friend" or "I would love to be your friend." Here it appears in an inversion of ordinary word order.
13. enthrall: to enslave. (A "thrall" is a slave.) The modern meaning -- to fascinate -- derives from this idea of "reducing to subjection." (Compare the history of meanings attaching to "charming" and "enchanting." Similarly with "ravishing.")
14. chast: chaste. The concept combines the concepts of being intact (whole, unbroken, sound) and pure (undefiled).
14. ravish: This word derives originally from Latin rapere -- to seize and carry away by violence, to snatch by force. Hence, eventually, the ideas of rape and rapture.
Yes.

Yes, seriously, FROM WHAT?? Answer the question before we answer!
I was saved from death by modern medical care, does that count??

Yes...I am saved from being brainwashed into believing something that can't possibly be true.

Saved by my parents from going on the wrong path (by wrong path I mean any religion other than Islam)
