A Loaded gun.

Spring forward, fall back. We all know what it is like to have our clocks rearranged, but when it comes to the stuff of life we all prefer things to stay the same. There is a time of birth and there is a time of death, and it's the stuff in between that really drives the human race clearly insane. When we were children we thought like children, but the problem is that when we reach a certain age we are supposed to act like adults, but have you had a definite moment in your life when you realised that things were not fixed, like a prize fighter there are things in life still worth fighting for.

Not many of us realise that just beyond our horizon lies a dream fulfilled, an accomplishment gained, a victory attained, and a battle to win. We live our lives under a fog a self deception, that leaves no room for growth, that leaves no room for maturity, and definitely kills spontaneity. There are two ways to look at your life.

One, it's just a series of random events left to chance, or two, those events that shape your life can be remade or born again into something new, never to be duplicated unless you are one of those people who believes totally in fate. If that's the case you have just left me with no alternative to agree with you that somethings are out of your control.

But I am an optimist, I wear glasses that are not tinted nor are they rose coloured though sometimes that might help, I'm not a romanticist. I don't see the new but real sexual thing just behind every good movie or book. I like to say that realistically, romance isn't everything, but a woman's heart or a man's heart must be pursued. Yes I am attracted to women, but as time is telling not all women are looking for the same thing. Girls you know what you want, and you know how to keep him, but when 'it' just doesn't seem to add up anymore, you mistake him for someone you used to know. I'm not tired of trying to understand the human heart, but I am tired of being told that life is just a simple game and all you have to do to win is be the best person on your block. Reality, doesn't work that way for those of us that have been to the other side and back. Life is more like a question. "How much are you willing to pay for that item?"

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...
