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?"

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
