Just because you don't obey the speed limit doesn't mean that it no longer exists...it does.

I know, but I hated going to mass. I was an alter boy, until they kicked me out because I did not feel like learning Latin. I thought I didn't want to say a bunch of meaningless words, in a language I did not understand. I would much rather have watched football, or go play hockey. I hated confessing my sins to some dude who was a sinner himself. Now, I also have a nice steak, or some good roast beef on Friday. Mmmm, good meat. Love it. I think I will do it again this Friday. 😄😇😃 It sure is fun, knowing I don't have to do these dead works anymore.

Maybe I will see you at the pearly gates.

First, be VERY careful of calling yourself an "ALTER BOY"...that would call into question your gender identity...it is altar boy that I assume that you meant.You have the benefit of the doubt on that one :)

Meaningless words that you did not understand.....Hmmmmm, the original Bible was written in Greek or Hebrew, or Aramaic and later translated into Latin in the Vulgate....but oh well, just a lot of mumbo jumbo and you were VERY immature at the time...

Steak on Friday/// One of my favorites and the rule (just a rule) of abstinance was lifted many years ago. It was just to instill, in faithful Catholics, a slight sense of a penitential act to maybe help remove the overwhelming sin of pride that so many exhibit.....just saying.

I guess THIS explains your high pitched voice!
