We have a new priest at our church, as happens every 12 years or so, the Vatican moves the priests around. He is older and grey, perhaps well into in his sixties, originally from Croatia. His English is excellent, albeit with a European accent. So perhaps that is why I listened more intently to his inspiring sermon in church the last time I was there, to adjust to his booming, accented voice. It was a nice surprise to discover he has a wonderful sense of humour and I found myself laughing at times. It may be that I am closer to his age and thus had a more common viewpoint. For example he spoke on controlling addictive behaviour such as alcohol, etc etc...and of course, the internet. Do you think of the internet as an addiction, I suppose it is!
It's not an addiction, it's a lifestyle
ReplyDeleteGlad you have a good, new priest, and his humour and booming voice will stop people from sleeping in the sermons! Yes, I think internet is a bit addictive, I spend too much time on there! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI'm always trying to step away from the Internet, but it keeps pulling me back in!
ReplyDeleteThe internet certainly can be addictive!
ReplyDeleteIn my case, the internet has broadened my horizons and knowledge base. So addictive, yes, but a good addiction.
ReplyDeleteIn my case, it certainly is an addiction... I mean, they have Youtube and Netflix on the Internet! Can you really blame it? :D
ReplyDeleteIf it takes priority over other things in your life...it's an addiction. Some have it pretty bad...like surfing fb all day. If you can take it or leave it...it's not an addiction. Sounds like I would enjoy your Priest.
ReplyDeleteFirst I love your new blog header! It is a wonderful, wonderful rose! I also suppose that internet can become an addiction and I admit that it's difficult for me to live without internet as meanwhile it became a normal part of modern life. I love it to do shopping via the internet because I can do it 24 hours. I have to work all day and the shops are closed at night in Germany and it makes life so much easier. I'm curious now with regard to your new priests next sermon. Might be interesting to listen. Maybe you will share it and keep us up to date? But I will of course leave it to you.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed this post Stefanie, we will have to see about future sermons!
DeleteWhat beautiful flowers, the photo is lovely! I'm glad you had nice time at church.
ReplyDeleteYour Priest sounds like a wonderful orator Christine, and a sense of humor too, lovely :) Your flower photo is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe internet can be an addiction, that I agree on. Must be nice to have such an interesting and wise priest. Greetings!
ReplyDeleteI like speakers with a sense of humor. I am really not an addict, not even to the Internet. Haha.
ReplyDeleteKove sense of humour!
ReplyDeleteFor some, who actually have deadlines, etc., it can be an addiction. My mother hated turnovers in ministers!!!
ReplyDeleteThe internet can be an addiction!
ReplyDeleteYour priest does sound good.
All the best Jan
