Regarding this performance, was that something Jesus would do?

Well, once upon a time, a wedding celebration ran out of wine. I'm sure you know why that would happen. And I'm sure you know what Jesus did.

There are times to laugh and times to cry. And times to evangelize the world, without being of the world.

"I guess it’s OK, but she’s no Sr. Dominique!"

Or these sisters 8-)

but the song and music plays like the world, and much of what passes for contemp-orary “Christian” music. Which many conservative RCs also complain about.

She's not in church. But, you knew that.

A variation from than the last thread i saw on nuns:

The orders in the West have largely been destroyed. The collapse occurred in the late sixties. The story behind the destruction is interesting but very sad.

Dr. William Coulson was a disciple of the influential American psychologist Carl Rogers, and for many years a co-practitioner of the latter's "nondirective" therapy. In 1964 he became chief of staff at Rogers' Western Behavioral Sciences Institute in La Jolla, Ca., where, he says, as the resident Catholic it became his task to "gather a cadre of facilitators to invade the IHM community" of nuns-and later some two dozen other orders, among them the Sisters of Mercy, the Sisters of Providence, and the Jesuits. It was only in 1971 that he began to "back away" from his belief in psychotherapy, when its destructive effects on the religious orders-and on the Church and society in general- became apparent to him.

We Overcame Their Traditions, We Overcame Their Faith

Anyway, there is hope on the horizon. The orthodox orders are growing rapidly, and the modernist orders are dying out.

She's not in church. But, you knew that. Irrelevant, all music anyone is to glorify God in content and melody. If it was sung by an evangelical it would be and is the same./ i even think Tebow should not play in the NFL without reproving the erotic dancers on the side (which is at least proof for special creation, as they were a product of godless evolution last time i glanced).

[don-o]

All right, let’s follow up on that.

If Tebow did that reproving, is he good to go? Can Christians watch the NFL? How much reproving is required? Is one reproof per game requires? Or can one per season take care of it?

What is a suitable medium for reproofing?

I loved the video. I have an intuition (is that still allowed?) that J-Ax is in some kind of life transition, and li'l Sr. Cristina, as the Quakers say, "spoke to his condition."

What's "news" here, is not that she's is a great singer--- she's not, not really --- nor that "No One" is an inspired text. I wish everyone would look at the video again with different eyes, with your focus on J-Ax's face. Something just leaped out and grabbed him, almost floored him. Thunderstruck with innocence.

Innocence. That's like water in the desert, man.

Here's a woman not twerking, not covered w/ glitter, not 99.5% naked, not on the take, not on the make, just singing as a gift.

Pure gift, pure friend. Pure joy!

I quoted you to somebody else. Plagiarized, really. Can you forgive me? :o)

No Problem-o, Mrs. Don-o...
