To Friend or not to Friend.

To friend, or not to friend that is the question. I'm sure we have all had reasons to let go of certain friends through out the years but what about those certain friends that were once a very large deal to each and everyone of us? Would we have been better off if we not only kept in touch with those friends but actually kept them as our personal buds.

To answer this question I turn to the most important part of myself, not my heart but my soul. That part of me that is intangible but imperfect, I would have to look only for a second to say that there were reasons in my life that my soul didn't want to be friends with particular people that once turned my crank, my soul would say yes that person is still very much a part of me as are my current friends are but there is a reason why my spirit (who I really am) has rejected that friendship.

That said, I do believe in forever friends. These are those souls that even after death they were so much connected that their hearts, wherever they are are connected. Yes I do believe that there is life after death, I do believe in one G_d, and I believe that the most important thing this side of heaven is to get to know that G_d personally. I won't go into detail as to my concept of the G_d, beyond creation. But I do believe that he is good and cares for each person, personally.

Whatever your concept of the G_d, let me just say that I do regret that there were times when I could of been a better friend, that I openly admit I have failed, but to know that my concept is of a G_d that saves and forgives, better yet who knew exactly how our lives would turn out right from the beginning, G_d, is truly great and he saves those who want a friendship with him..ALWAYS.

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...
