In the face of Human.

All messed up and nowhere to go. If you are tempted you may want to head down to the local mall, there is a voice in your head that is saying if everyone is doing it, it must be right. But the question to ask is what are they doing? You jump up and down on the chairs like a spoiled rotten litle boy and you scream for our ice cream, and your mom comes running in the room with a big bowl of cherries. What are you doing. All your life you have asked the question, does the facet really run when there are no dishes in the dryer? You crave the heart of a little happiness because you feel if you just reach that point in the road there is no coming back. So...

You pack up their things and you say goodbye to them because today is a new day and you have a big agenda on your horizon tomorrow and that is to get a good night sleep, but you awaken to a drunk man siting on the foot of your bed with nowhere to go, so you send him to the local church to sober up. He sneaks in and sits where the preacher is supposed to sit and is asked to sit closer to the stage, as he feels the five beers he had last night wearing of and he comes to his home where he is asked to drink five more beers and is then sent off to the local church to sober up again.

This time he gets it right and sits where he is supposed to sit as a young girl approaches him and ask him if he would like to dance. He tells her, my face book is waiting at home and all this time I was waiting for the priest to show up and when  saw them I feel at his knees because I knew that he would send me home to pray and to read my bible because tomorrow is now and the pasta I had last night wasn't enough, I have to see the pasta man face to face because when I see him I'll get a head start at setting my feet back on the ground because there is a time to sing and there is a time to dance but if I look you in the face right now I may forget who I am until the overtaker comes once again to remind me that the distance between me and everlasting joy is the difference between me and the news report that is being played in my ears right now, so..I'll forget that I own you and pretend that there is something is right between the world and I..cumbya.

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
