(Perspective) Biblical: Feeling alone In A Crowded Room

Don't ask me how I feel, ask me what I know, I often say. But when is it the time to fully rely on feelings?


I made a personal conviction then essentially broke it. The hypocrite in me. The truth needs to be told. Where does one go to confess their sins or turn to for accountability in this world of independence? There are support groups for everything. If you recall Fight Club QCTHUHB (quietly chuckles to herself under her breath...) Support groups for everything. So why is it that I feel I cannot be content with personal confession without corporate confession? 

I once argued that you didn't need to confess your sins or wrong doings to anyone  but to God alone. It's a true statement, but in a way limited. We can tell them to one another. In some faith groups you confess them to a priest or father. 

Why does any of this matter?  

   Saves a lot of time . . . 

and heartache [W}rip the bandage off. Just lay it all out, all the problems. Let it go. It's freeing. For personal growth such as painfully pruning off dead weeds or overgrown tree branches. Helps in the long run to publicly be so upfront about some things. Shows a bit of your humbleness. It's once a week. Then you can go back to being your hard-ass self, back in the world. I have taken communion with people of varying ethic backgrounds, and some with history stemming back to Germany under Hitler. In church, their history means little to nothing to me. It's a neutral ground in respects to that individual's lifestyle in accordance to God's word.

Simple things should not go unchecked. A little leaven or for those who need a modern rendition: It's like bringing out glitter. If you're not careful, that S*** get's everywhere. Same with our bad behavior. It needs to get checked. Like germs. We know how things get spread. Small things the naked e y e cannot see.  Even things we're unaware of can have severe negative consequences. How you conduct yourself in everyday exchanges needs to be checked. Everyone is watching. I hope you're aware. To the Christian, the Holy Spirit or the Helper is always in tune. Much like being logged on to the computer. It's simply a replication of what God had already implemented for communication with His creation. Small things are like SPAM or cyber attacks.  

Clean up your life: physical, emotional, spiritual, 

and Quickly

I walked out, not because of anything anyone else had done. I was not willing to sit there knowing I had some unfinished business to address.  The feeling is conviction saying go make peace with your enemy. How can you sit there in God's house knowing you have specifically offended someone? You speak one way and act another towards someone specific. Don't sit there in church taking it in. So I left.

And that's my story.

(Perspective) Biblical: Freedom In The House Of Mourning

Countless times I've expressed the expansive variety of options we're gifted here on Earth. Why do we limit ourselves to options ABCD, though? We're told we have free will. We're told we can do what we want with our bodies and choose when to have kids  But what does it really look like to have free will? I'll tell you now. Not caring about the options at all. Seeing everything as a gift. Realizing this world was designed to be enjoyed and lived in to the fullest extent possible. Again, why limit ourselves to simple options? Pick whatever car you want (as long as it's the color options they've presented you with.) Eat whatever type of french fry, icecream, or food that is available on the menu list at your favorite restaurant. We have personal preferences and there's nothing wrong with having options and opinions. The question poised here is simple: Are you really free, or just given options?  I was blessed to hear a wonderful sermon that presented this w...

15 December 2021 Dream

Dream last night was trying to meet someone outside to talk in person. Guess I got impatient.  Was outside at night fall. Was able to read street sign that read "Lara". Walked down the road to food joint. Inside I see some small black square shaped folding table, that some well dressed Mexican man was holding up, then allowed to fall and collapse. I was frustrated and annoyed that he left that mess. I attempted to fix the table. He quietly laughed to himself at my struggle.  I start laughinig like him in a mocking way. There were a couple of small stuffed pillows that I tossed to the ground with every laugh walking towards him. He looked at me pissed off and angry. A full cup of Coke in a paper cup with the lid on sat on the table where he stood next to it. He knocked it over and it spilled all over the floor leaving a long trail throughout the entire length of the restaurant. I hopped over it and said, "I'm not cleaning that. Guess everyone will have sticky feet the...

Respect Rules and Regulations

2 Timothy 2:5  "And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules." I find it interesting how mad people can get when a referee makes a bad call during a sporting event. I find it very interesting how angered and outraged a group of peoople will act when they're under the impression their team should have won, and lost due to rules being broken and someone failing to do their job right and make the correct call.  Many of these same people committed to these teams and their strict terms of correctness, also tend to ignore many rules of life.   I won't deny  that many rules are arbitrary, don't make sense and are designed to disenfranchise groups of people. Many are forced on people that deny your right to life.  Combat those things with respect. If it goes against your conscience which is part of you, you have the right to defend yourself. Those who are in power also are expected to lead, following rules wi...
