Maggie Johnston I miss you.

What is the age of your cat? What is the age of your car? Have you any grey hair? Who do you miss? This is turning out be be one of my worst blogs but if I am to be true to the inspiration that brought me here I must be true to the person who has long been not a part of my life, Maggie Johnston. I could write a song about you Maggie, how we all grow old, I could write a poem how we were once great friends, I could write a book how we were once great lovers, but in the time of eternity there is one thing that matters, how well did you know me? When the grey hair has come, I will still be dreaming, when the love has ceased, I will be thinking about you. When Christmases have come and gone I'll be living in my own little precious place with a window open, and the fire kindled, Will you come home? Maggie Johnston.

Allot has transpired since I last talked to you, just as time passes there is so much to do. I found the meaning of life, I rode a bike, I feel in love, not once but twice. But Christian girls are not the same, they are more than words can say because we are one and the same. We read our bibles and can talk for hours, Maggie I wish you were a christian girl. That being true I know we would not be together, there is not much two sinners can share under heaven, yes Maggie I've been in love, with the Lord and his people, and two candle light girls. If I had to walk this path alone Maggie, it would be a frightening thing and sometimes it still is.

But I have the light and It's going to be alright, oh and I have hope I have the word of God. Maggie I don't know where you stand with all this religion in my hand, but I offer it up to you as one friend to another, oh Maggie Johnston oh won't you come home. I'll see you in December.


this is mike.

Some Bible Verses on Money.

  Bible verses about money. I bet you didn’t think the bible said that? Proverbs 23:5 When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky.  1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Proverbs 13:11 Wealth quickly gained is quickly wasted — easy come, easy go! But if you gradually gain wealth, you will watch it grow. Psalm 62:10 Don’t make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases, don’t make it the centre of your life. Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Ecclesiastes 11:1 Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again. Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that

My Story.

  In 1999 I suffered a mental health crisis and admitted myself into the hospital where I live, in which I was given a mental health diagnosis. I didn’t want to receive medication at the time, but unwillingly accepted it. I was in the hospital for about two months, when I asked my doctor if I could go home, and he said yes, even though he thought it would have been better if I stayed longer.   I was glad to be home though, but at 25, it took some adjusting to feel truly at home. One of the problems I was having at home was it was hard for me to eat the food in the house. I was having a psychosis where I felt the food wasn’t mine, and I literally had to go out to eat, or buy bread from the supermarket and take it home to eat it. Eventually this wore off, but I don’t remember how long.  I was now on ODSP and had a check come to me every month in order to have financial support. I would occasionally have a crisis, and ask my mom to drive me to the hospital, but eventually the crisis would

Why has the church lost its capacity and power?

  The church has modernized itself and in the process has lost something very valuable. It has lost its capacity to be personable. The way we reach lost souls is by seeing them, by getting to know them, and by recognizing them, but people are getting lost in the church. The church has become a busy place and is also becoming a less holy place. To make disciples we have to get to know people, and technology in the church is depersonalizing souls, and depersonalizing God for them. Faith becomes a marketable commodity, whereas in the past, churches and their leaders nourished and valued personal faith. While faith is still valued, it’s becoming something that is marketable, which reminds me of the story of Jesus in the temple turning over tables (Matthew 21:12-17). The problem isn’t that the church doesn’t work or doesn’t want to share the gospel, it could be how we are doing it. The church is currently being run like a business, and each Christian metaphorically speaking has a profit val
