Doing and done all of the above. What more can I cut? We do have a cell phone for work and because I am pregnant but otherwise I would give it away.
We don’t have a land line, only cell phones. A lot of people do this.
You can drop your ISP.
Work pays for most of it.
Entrust your cares to the Lord
no he doesn’t b/c it’s not true.
I have a friend that does this. He forgets to keep his cell phone charged.
I’d suggest financial peace university again. The budgeting methodology taught, tools and the positive reenforcement you get in class is invaluble. I can’t recommend it highly enough, it’s really made a huge impact in my family’s life. No longer are we living paycheck to paycheck, we have no CC debt to speak of (going to pay off the last $300 soon) and we are not paniced anymore. Even with $5k of medical bills (out of our pockets), all kinds of repairs to make to our new home (just purchased), as well as installing a new lawn (sod) and fencing and I can’t even tell you how many more purchases coming down the pipe.
Is it possible for your partner get a part-time job at night to help make ends meet until you go back to work after the baby is born? I have a friend with six children who works evenings at Office Max to help make ends meet.
Thank you for sharing that resource. I will check it out.
Actually fear is not fully having knowledge. Fear prevents the knowledge from being 100% culpable.Serap, with respect, you are incorrect.
Conditions for a mortal sin:
Going by the Church’s criteria, janesansible would indeed be in mortal sin if she contracepts.
- It must be of a grave matter; (violating the unitive and procreative aspects of the marital act is grave matter)
- It must be committed with full knowledge that it is a mortal sin; (if she has read this thread, she is aware of this)
- It must be committed with full consent. (she has consented)(CCC# 1857)
Jane, have you gone to a pregnancy resource center or crisis pregnancy center in your area and asked for help? They might be able to provide assistance to you.
What did your parish say when you asked for help?
I think your priest is incorrect, or the context was different.
He respects that.But it’s not necessarily the road to perdition either.I think your priest is incorrect, or the context was different.
In this context, fear has nothing to do with knowledge. It doesn’t matter if you’re afraid of the consequences of a sin; if you know it’s a sin and do it anyway, that’s sufficient knowledge.
It is up to God, but if we knowingly put ourselves into mortal sin, then we are telling God that we don’t want to love Him.
How EFFECTIVE is NFP?
I’m at a loss as to how someone masturbates out of fear.
If you knowingly place yourself in a state of unrepentant mortal sin, then… yes, it is.
He does, and He gave us the Church to teach us about what is and isn’t mortal sin. If we refuse to listen to His Church, then He respects our choice.
Actually, while SOME people may get those side effects when on the pill. I actually never had side effects. It made my periods lighter (I suffer from anemia due to heavy menstruation) and acne. WHICH now that I am off the pill I am more anemic than ever and breaking out like a teenager. Of course now, that I am pregnant I am anemic and breaking out because of the baby. I also loved not having the heavy periods which controlled my life. I would sometimes miss work because they were so heavy. I am sure you know that people take them for medical reasons too?
Yes, but we aren’t speaking of that use. The matter at hand is contraceptive use.
Check out the book “Fertility, Cycles, and Nutrition” by Marilyn Shannon. She offers advice as to how changes in diet and vitamin supplements can help with the very problems you mention. No icky artificial hormones necessary!
