It's pretty straightforward to post here and I know I'd enjoy this as an avenue for discussion.<BR/><BR/>I think Marcel makes a good point about dating relationships that need not be exclusive. There are guys who scoff at the notion of discernment, saying that the term is over-used here while believing that it is sometimes dishonestly used. I, personally, think this is rare or nonexistent but I've heard some grousing about it here and there over time.<BR/><BR/>So let's all be honest out there. If it's not THE TRUTH, don't ever end a relationship by saying that you need to discern a religious vocation.<BR/><BR/>And on the other side, which I think is bigger, if someone tells you that they think they need to discern a calling, don't complain to your friends. We should support and pray for such people, not cast suspicion on them.<BR/><BR/>And don't give up on the idea of "discernment". It is certainly not overused.stceolfrithtxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04369240659677103435noreply@blogger.com
