Monday 27, 2012

Just finished participating in a speech and debate tournament.  I did pretty well. 

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I actually like speech and debate tournaments.

Yes, Emily, you can tell me "I told you so."

I want to go to another one...seriously.

Just as a foot note.  What do you guys think of a blessed rosary.  I had an interesting conversation with a catholic at the tournament.  She brought up the topic of a rosary bead necklace that was blessed by the bishop.  Tell me what you think about this idea.

  1. Simon,
    I won't say I told you so. But I'm thinking it.

    So as a man thinketh in his heart...so is he. Hmmm. LOL

  4. You just said it though. That was such a hypocritical statement Emily.

  5. Very funny. I was simply repeating the words YOU said and affirming them. Plus, I didn't really say anything...I typed it. =)

    And you are using an incorrect usage of the word "hypocritical"

    According to merriam-webster's online dictionary it states that a hypocrite is...

    1: a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion

    2: a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings

    Clearly we can see that it is not a hypocritical statement. YOU stated what I believed.

  10. Hey, Simon...about the Rosary. Are you talking about the prayer? Or the beads? (by the way, Rosaries aren't usually used as necklaces.) What I would say is that for me the Rosary is a way to pray while meditating on Scripture. The beads are just to help you keep track of where you are in the prayer.

    1. I just figured out that you can REPLY to comments. Sorry. Actually, there are sort of a lot of different issues/doctrines involved with your question. I could answer here but it would probably be kind of long. Maybe email me? Anne G. has my email.
