Let me continue with yesterday's train of thought. Shorty after I began my journey, a journey that began mostly as a fact finding mission. I wanted to learn the truth about what happens next, what happens when our time here is done. At this time I had a job where I spent a lot of …

How will you be remembered
How will you be remembered after you are gone? I started asking myself this question last night after I learned of the death of a classmate of mine. He was a patient at the nursing home where my better half works and she told me when I got home. Now I admit he and I …
Narrow Paths and New Beginnings
For the past few months, I have been undergoing some transitions in my life. Since about January I have been preparing to move from the house we have lived in for the past 15 years, and the house that could be considered an ancestral home of sorts as it has been in the family for about …
What Have You Done With My Lord
"What have you done with my Lord?" These are the words that Mary used when she entered the tomb of Jesus and found it empty. These are the same words we can use when we see all that is happening in the world around us. Every day there is more violence around us whether it …

I have to admit that the last few months have been tough on me and especially on my faith. I was beginning to head back down a road that would lead me away from the church. I was losing faith because it seemed like God wasn't there. And then He did it again... He answered …
Jesus Didn’t Give Up
Here is a question for the class: How much faith do you put into God healing you when you are sick? I am not saying to not go to a doctor, or refuse treatment, but do you you think having faith in God helps you beat your illness? As you may or may not know …
Has Satan Won?
I have to admit that lately I have been neglecting my blogging duties. In fact, I have been neglecting a lot of my spiritual duties as well. I am not sure why, but I can only explain it as being in a spiritual drought. I haven't given up or lost faith or anything like that, …
The Safest Road to Hell
Isn't that the truth? The road to hell begins smoothly, you drift a little to one side or the other and you don't even realize it. As Lewis says, there aren't any signposts, nothing to let you know you are going the wrong way. The Evil One won't post signs for you, he will just let …
