The paper is more patient, than people.

Relatively speaking I am doing OK. How are you? I hope you haven't forgotten that we are in December right now and an other year will be ending soon. With things slowly coming to an end I guess it's safe to look back now and let go of all the things that you went through this year and say, good ridden...I know you'll be back next year! The 2 words that defined this year were hope, love and forgiveness (sorry three). I don't know what you went through this year and I know that it is not over yet, but it is closing. I hope you were kind to those people that truly showed you love this year, and I know that it is not too late or inappropriate to say that you love them before the year ends..forever.

One of the things God has been teaching me this year and I hope He taught you something this year, is forgiveness and patience. I always thought that I was a forgiving person and I would say that I am, but I was challenged this year by the ones that I would call my enemies to show them the love of God despite my weakness and blind spots or sin. I know that it is politically incorrect? to say that we are sinners these days, and even the church is blushing when we use the sin word now. But I guess that is just a sign of the times. We have become a fast food society more than we ever have been, and not only do we like our food to be fast now but everything has to be fast. Our communication and our relationships have morphed into external overdrive and we are going to burn out very soon as a society.

You can not keep living at a pace that defies all human logic and remain sane and productive but yes the world has reached a point where they have expressed everything super high speed. I was at 2 funerals this weekend and even death is becoming a burden to our society.."Did you have to die this day? I had a great evening planned for Johnny and the kids, you really mean I have to go to your funeral? (maybe I'll go to it on line.)" I'm not kidding, I don't mean to be funny, but we have forgotten what it really means to be human and yes attending 2 funerals wasn't even enough to remind myself that this life will end..I just don't want to accept it! Maybe I can live on virtually forever! Gone are the days of tv dinners, and no tv dinners are not a dinner you eat in front of the TV. It was an actual thing that we did in the'70's and '80's. Kind of like microwavable popcorn. I think we should bring back the tv dinner. It would make life interesting again, and maybe we would slow down a little. (See picture above.) Shalom.

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 storeho...

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 th...

Who Defines Sin?

The short answer to this question is God defines sin. But how does He do it? Sin is defined in the word of God the Bible. The Bible was composed by many authors but these authors were inspired by the spirit of God, as though the spirit of God was writing through them. So the question is “Who wrote the Bible? Man or God?” The way I can explain this is that God wrote it using the agency of man. Before the New Covenant, there were prophets and holy people who spoke for God. Their words were recorded and when the books were compiled, including the books of the New Testament, we have the Bible. Because the Bible is God’s word, God Himself has preserved it throughout history. We understand who God is, and what is acceptable and not acceptable to God by reading the Bible. We learn this history of salvation, Israel’s deliverance and what God has done for the problem of sin, that every human being has a part in. Sin is clearly defined in the Bible, both in the Old Testament and in ...
