Adultery, not a nice word.

I promised myself that I wouldn't do this, I will not complain...maybe just a little. I want to talk about the need for reality. There is allot of deception, (as the trash man drives by my window) and nobody seems to care. I called a prayer line today, and the man on the other line seemed so indifferent to my problem. Maybe it's because he is indifferent to the problems in his own life. One of my college teachers said something that has still stuck with me, it was "The great Disappointment." As an artist no matter how much you achieve in life you will always be left with the feeling that despite your accomplishments you really haven't reached your goals. He also told me that I have the feeling that others know me better than I know myself. At that point in my life he was right. Then I grew up. I'm not the judgemental type, but I know that there are allot of people who would say that I am, for that I apologise. I have a tendency to tell people things that the...

I don't think you exist, really?

Words can never express the gratitude that I felt the other day as I had the opportunity to lead a little girl to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. I have always thought that my little world, the world of self existence was always about me and what I could accomplish in my short time on earth. I'm still selfish but I no longer feel that my own existence is for my own happiness. I believe that I was placed here to bring the joy of Christ, (wow) to other human beings. I always thought that down deep inside there was a treasure to this thing called life, and I have now learnt that that treasure lies in knowing Christ, and when he allows it, to bring other people to that knowledge. I don't know if I will ever get the same opportunity again, but if the soul purpose of my existence was to bring one person into the faith, I have fulfilled my purpose in life.

The telos, or the goal of human existence.

I might say here that I do not know why we were created, and that would be a misrepresentation of the doctrine of Christ presented to us in the bible. I am not a theologian, but I am a fan of one great such, the great N.T. Wright. His telos or goal for the truly human being is new creation. When you become a christian, a whole new world opens up to you. You find that you desire new things, "the old has gone the new has come" says the scriptures. We like to call it being born again. The goal of human existence is new creation, not any creation but a creation of the renewed human being reflecting the truly human character, that reflects the glory of God back to creation. Sounds confusing? Read on. Some of us have made personal goals in our own minds, which should stay there for now. But keep in mind that you had to create a conscious thought to formulate that goal. Whether you were aware of it or not we are all thinking beings, we have the capacity to to accept one thought or...

The snake, the dragon & the butterfly.

We believe in one absolute truth, that truth doesn't exist. We believe in the existence of an omnipresent creator, her name is rah. We suppress the true knowledge of God because we fear his judgement now and forever in eternity, but we will never bow down to that Son, for in so doing we fail our omnipotent creator rah. We believe in earth, rain and the butterfly, the Spirit of God is hell to us because we are the enemy. Rah will ruin this universe and create a blissful nothingness, where we will become sons and daughters of the snake, the dragon and the butterfly. We are unclean. We believe in the God of political correctness, churches should be dungeons, where rah flies free and blessed. We will pray to rah, as you pray to your enemy, and this world will be the kingdom of lies, restricted speech and false presidents. Rah said you don't have to be a citizen of his country to be the leader...we hear the sound of their king coming to save them, flee to rah, she will protect you ...
