The Cheekyness of the Morning after.

Today I am going to talk about child abuse. I want to even discuss something that you may never heard of and that is adult children being abused by their morally responsible dependants or parents. It is not hard for me to imagine that an adult living at home with some sort of disability can be in danger of being sexually abuse by a father, or other dependent. It happens but nobody is willing to talk about it but I am.

Can you imagine for a moment that you are back in your twenties, if you are a student try to think what your life would be like if you were five or six years older. You are living independently on your own, you have already left your parents house, probably years ago, things are good and all of a sudden you are stricken with a serious illness or disability and because you haven't married yet your only option then is to move back home with your parents who really don't want you. I don't know why, maybe they think that you will cramp their style, maybe they are in denial that you are really sick, there are a million reasons why a dependant adult child can be rejected by their parents in a crisis of a disability.

That said now imagine that these parents want to take total control and legal guardianship of all that child's fiances and health decisions. They discover that the rented house they were living in can be left, (they can move) not because they can afford it, but because their disabled child who was paying taxes on his/her Ontario Disability Payments, and the parents as dependents were entitled to a hefty disability tax return, in their pocket because they didn't know they could claim back taxes on their own child's disability support plan.

Ingenious I know, but what was ingenious or as I would like to call it romantically deceptive, can lead the child to think that his or her parents are taking advantage of their own personal anguish, by buying themselves a new home literally on the back of their disabled adult child who it seems they never wanted back in the first place. Can you feel that this could be a powder keg for all kinds of abuse, mental physical verbal emotional. If the parents didn't want the child back in the first place but were forced to take him/her back, if the parents didn't realize that there were options for living arrangements for their adult child, or if they knew there were arrangements but chose that out of sympathy, the question must be asked who's sympathy, their was a song I learned about in high school by the Rolling Stones called "Sympathy for the Devil." What a great song, I don't know too much about music history but we studied this song in English class and I absolutely fucking loved it. How on God's green earth can we have sympathy for a creature that at it's heart is totally bent on raping, destroying, castigating, manipulating, and any other ing that you can think of.

The song makes you think, I'm to have sympathy!!!! I've read the good book I call myself a believer, but I'm to have what!!! I think there needs to be a revolution with this idea and concept when it comes to adult or the abuse of children.

Catholic Identity.

  I was born into the Catholic Church and was baptized as an infant, I had my first communion and reconciliation as a child, and was confirmed as a teenager. Although I was never devout, I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour when I was 21 through an evangelical Christian radio ministry, which in turn gave new life to my Catholic faith. Although I remained a Catholic, I identified as a born again Christian. It wasn’t until much later in my life that I learned the difference between the two denominations and what they taught about being born again. Regardless, there was a significant change in my life back then, which continues to this day. Being Catholic is much like an identity to me and I remember growing up under the papacy of St. Pope John Paul II. The culture I grew up in was largely affected by his papacy, and the way the culture viewed the church was significantly different from the way the current culture views it. Growing up, the pope didn’t try to be rele...

Age of Brokenness.

  We are living in an age of brokenness, no matter what age you are, you probably have been touched with relationships falling apart, which causes more and more people to live in isolation. In this generation there is less of an incentive to heal and reconcile relationships, but that doesn’t excuse the amount of people who are broken. Why people don’t seem to be motivated to heal relationships is because our beliefs about faith and God have changed, really giving us less of an incentive to do what our religion says. If I act from my personal beliefs, but the person that I am responding to has abandoned religious beliefs, than the response to my wanting things to be better can be misinterpreted and rejected then by someone else. Generally when a society has expectations about broken relationships, loneliness and isolation, and the beliefs are generally accepted, society becomes a more compassionate society, because all value the same things. When religious values are undermined and ...

The Biblical Meaning of “Life in the Spirit.”

  “Life in the Spirit” is an example that the Apostle Paul gives in the book of Romans starting in chapter 5 and going through to chapter 8. He begins by telling us we are justified by faith (5:1), and have gained access by faith into the grace of God (5:2). We have been delivered from God’s wrath (5:9) and we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son (5:10). He goes on to explain that through Adam all die (5:12), and that the free Gift of God brings justification and righteousness to the believing sinner (5:15-17).   Through our conversion we are baptized into Christ and into his death, which frees us from the law and makes us dead to sin (6:2-4). He explains that just as Christ was raised from the dead, we are given new life in Christ (6:4). Our old unregenerate self was crucified with Christ so that our body of sin might be done away with (6:5-6). Because we have died to sin, we now submit ourselves to God being that we are now under grace, not the law (6:8-1...
