The whole story.

How would you like to live in a world where nothing is true, just one crisis after another, like being on a roller coaster that never ends. Welcome to the 21st century. Those of us who are getting older and are approaching our mid-life wonder if anything is going to change in our lives and in this world. Is this the world you dreamt you would live in when you were a kid. It seems that when you approach mid life the stress of other peoples problem lives seem to get in the way of you ever finding your way back to any sense of normalcy, which is where most of us generation Xers are right now.

We are fighting for our bread and butter and it seems like with the economic crisis that is rarely talked about anymore is lost forgotten on the younger generation, who still just want to have fun. But those of us who have had our fun just want to live a peaceful life but it seems that life has gotten in the way for most of us and we are so busy supporting that other person that one day at a time we look for those gaps in our craziness to schedule time for the things that really matter.

I really think we need open media at this point, not just opinionated views by a generation that has lost it's way. There is a big societal and psychotic gap in our generation and the millennial's that can only be filled through wisdom, a quality that seems to be despised by our younger brothers and so forth. If this gap isn't fixed there will be confusion for those y ers when they reach our age and need someone to look for wisdom. But this will never happen. This is a lost generation.

The solution to finding your way in a dark world is not to make this world darker but to find the light and live in it, for when you have found the light it won't leave you. But there is a false light that these children live in that resembles reality, but they do not have the memory to remember back to a time pre-September 2001, and like most paradigm changes they don not last. I don't feel that history will repeat itself, I believe it is re-inventing itself. Have you ever seen that movie "Back to the Future" where Michael J. Fox travels back in time and messes with the time space continuum? This is where we are right now. We have two generations living in two different time continuum's metaphorically speaking and they are trying to communicate to one another through two aluminium cans and some string. Their only hope is to take the lessons they are learning now and run to reality (if they can find it) before they get stuck in the past as the world moves more and more into the future. Happy new year.

This is Mike.

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...
