listen to father peter's advice, and choose a job where u can give God the glory. i also had no idea at 15 what i wanted to do. i certainly didn't think of a career in hospital medicine. btw, medicine can be very hard. i am in my late 30s and still …

ephesians 6:18 and pray in the Spirit on ALL occasions with ALL kinds of prayers and requests. with this in mind, be alert and ALWAYS keep on praying for ALL the saints. so don't be limited!

romans 8:38-39 NOTHING can separate us from the love of God. the demons can't hurt you. even the devil himself can't hurt you. no-one can take away your life, only God can, and He loves you. saint antony had many threats from demons, but they could …

my small idea: most of us think we are much better than we actually are. eg if anyone asks us what we do if the house catches fire, we hope that we would take care to help everyone escape. but in real life, maybe we would just run out in a panic and…

there are no PERMANENT physical side effects of masturbation. in the uk we grew up thinking it could make you go blind! it can't, nor does it do physical damage. it can do emotional damage, and this can lead to all sorts of symptoms, which can be tr…

cannabis is only useful in certain extreme medical conditions, eg. multiple sclerosis, and even here it's benefits have not been proven. most of the claims of the benefits of canabis have not been backed up by proper scientific trials.
