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.

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 Parable of the Ten Virgins.

 Matthew 25:1-13 I have discovered a remarkable interpretation of this parable that I would like to share with you. The story in the Bible goes like this:    “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.   2  Five of them were foolish and five were wise.   3  The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them.   4  The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.   5  The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 6  “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ 7  “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.   8  The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ 9  “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy som...

The Existence of God

  Since the beginning of time, man has learned about the existence of God. It began in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve walked and talked with God, however when they sinned, they died spiritually and their closeness with God was severed. In Genesis 4:26 it reads “Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the LORD.” Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve, so it’s fair to say that not too long after mankind fell, we also called upon the Lord.   From that time until now, mankind was closer to God then, but it’s a modern shift that the world is in the state it is in now, mainly unbelief, because even 30 years ago from now, mankind was closer to God. It is also true that in ancient Israel’s history, there have been generations that fell away and forgot God, but in the time of the prophets Israel was never left without a word from the Lord. Many generations have come and gone, but there have been remarkable generations all thr...
