I can actually read her blog and laugh, now (although I try very hard not to go there unless there's a reference to a comment or post that isn't quoted directly). I do think that VTC and blogs like it serve a useful purpose - it's very hard to correct people's misperceptions about Catholicism, but it's impossible if we don't try at all.<BR/><BR/>I wish Candy and Ace and all people who prejudge the Catholic faith would stop reminding us about specks in our eyes, when they have beams of their own to remove.NancyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12949501690201484739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853207333094285361.post-59971259011405344302008-09-21T22:22:00.000-07:002008-09-21T22:22:00.000-07:00Elena-Okay, not grandmother, how about godmother?I...Elena-<BR/>Okay, not grandmother, how about godmother?<BR/><BR/>I am excited that you will consider a testimony for us. I know you try not to be associated with the mud-slinging, but I have tried not to let that happen at Come Out of Her, even though I seem to be accused of it a lot lately. I save my rants for CIAL, but they're calling my little blog bad names just the same. I guess you'd know a thing or two about being unjustly accused, huh?anymommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316888519644205990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853207333094285361.post-10178429205688554462008-09-21T20:55:00.000-07:002008-09-21T20:55:00.000-07:00Tracy you are a dear friend and a loyal supporter....Tracy you are a dear friend and a loyal supporter.

I admit, I have been hurt, angry, mad, with Candy.. her attacks against the Faith I love have been so hurtful and I have been unkind in my feelings to her and have had to spend much time in asking God to forgive me for letting her words get to me. If I haven't been as much here as I was before, it is merely for the fact that I needed to step back and get control of my emotions.<BR/>But, I always have known that with Elena and Kelly I need not worry that our beautiful faith would get slandered without the truth being always said.. that has given me such comfort knowing that for those who seek to know the truth... they need only look and they will find it.<BR/><BR/>Thank you Elena!!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01038639159416547700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853207333094285361.post-60869221502592701852008-09-21T06:48:00.000-07:002008-09-21T06:48:00.000-07:00AACCKKK!

A lot of our new readers at both CIAL and Come Out of Her have only heard bits and pieces of the saga between you and Candy. I would love to hear the whole story. I know I at least consider this blog the "grandmother" of all the Candyland blogs.<BR/>Thanks for starting the fire and fanning it a bit now and then.anymommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316888519644205990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853207333094285361.post-66497450570349510452008-09-20T16:00:00.000-07:002008-09-20T16:00:00.000-07:00I'm glad you addressed Candy's very hypocritical s...I'm glad you addressed Candy's very hypocritical statements today. There is just no end to the madness.<BR/><BR/>When asked about the pictures of your home in the com box, Candy called the commenter a "talebearer," but the picture is there for all to see. <BR/><BR/>May God continue to bless your efforts to defend the faith that we hold so dear.angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18188881904597936902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853207333094285361.post-54305340878775968392008-09-20T12:35:00.000-07:002008-09-20T12:35:00.000-07:00Here is what the Bible tells you to think:"Finally...Here is what the Bible tells you to think:<BR/><BR/>"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." -Philippians 4:8<BR/><BR/>Don't visit froward gossipping websites. Don't watch froward TV shows. Don't surround yourself with frowardness. Surround yourself with as many things godly as you can, and think upon the things of God.<BR/><BR/>I haven't had too much time to pop in here or at Candy's but I did think this was a very interesting verse to admonish others with, considering you let everyone know you like to watch "Rambo". I quite frankly don't care what a person watches but when people look up to this person and take everything they say as gospel and they tell you to be careful of what your putting into your mind and yet a very violent movie like Rambo is okay? Walk your talk. She uses the word froward which means willfully contrary. Well , I guess Rambo isn't contrary to "whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." I hadn't visited in awhile but just more of the same old tired rants.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016058828515830560noreply@blogger.com
