How Do I Start a Blog on this Site?

I'm a Christian. I would love to be able to study/worship/pray to Saints though.

A few years back I read that Worshipping Saints is Idol Worship. (???)

I've also heard that only Catholics are allowed to pray to/worship Saints.

On two positive ideas I've heard about Saints though, are that 1. Saints can be looked at as our friends. and 2. The goal of every Catholic is to become a Saint.

(I hope it's okay to post things about Catholicism)

Any advice about anger?

~ I get furious often.

Is it wrong to care about how one looks?

~I view most Church-goers as people who care about how they look. There's even the phrase, "Sunday best."

~I hear that, "Our bodies our temples for The LORD". - I think some people are inspired to care about their health and appearance and feel support from this passage.

~I've also heard that, "we should be like lilies of the fields and not care what we eat or wear". - Yet I head it is a sin to eat too much. (gluttony)

~I've also heard that it is adultery to dress in ways some people find immodest.

                                               Any advice?

I hear a lot of things that effect me very negatively. I often have terrible feelings. Often I view my circumstances as terrible. I get overwhelmed. I'm tempted to commit suicide off and on and have tried before.

Helpful prayers would be great.

I've heard that people that have attempted suicide are, "spiritually dead." Does anyone have any scripture knowledge about that?

I've read and heard that Christians aren't supposed to covet.

Does this mean we shouldn't want anything? - Not a better life, not to be happier, not to be a better person, not to have a better relationship with GOD, not to try to make the World a better place, et cetera???
