Thou Shall Not Censure
In my last post, I talked about the "Lost Books of the Bible". I briefly mentioned that there were many theories regarding why these books were left out of the accepted Bible. Most of these theories seem to point out to a specific agenda of the early Christians to make the bible say what they …
Are the Animals Lining Up
As I am sitting here listening to the rain tattooing the roof of the building I am in I am wondering if this will be going on for another 39 days. Of course, I know that God promised Noah that it wouldn't happen again, but could he change His mind? No, because he doesn't renege …
You Just Never Know
First I must apologize for yesterday's post. In reviewing it today i realized there were numerous typo's. This is what happens when you are rushing to get the post done. Today's gospel is Matthew 25: 31 - 46. "Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, …

They pick and choose which tenets of the faith to follow and decide the others aren't …

The Sin of Sloth
Ok, time to get back to writing in the blog. Yes, I admit it, I am lazy sometimes, and that is unacceptable. After all, God gave me the talent to write, maybe not very good, but He did give me some, and I need to use it. After all the sin of sloth is one …
