MY VOICE FOR JESUS

We all have different ways to communicate in this world and my best way is writing. Writing allows me to clearly articulate my thoughts and feelings and the way I see life. Could I ever be a famous author, columnist, or blogger I do not know but I do hope I can at least reach a few people with my craft as a wordsmith. I have wondered the last few weeks to myself, "Do I really have anything to say that has not been said?" Yet I have this burning inside that I must still write and some belief that I must be heard. Now is this ego or narcissism or simply a desire to try and make the world better by sharing what feels like inspiration from Heaven to share here back here on planet earth? Write and write I must and in so doing I hope to bless you the reader. Thank you for taking the time to read my posts.

I have been thinking about the shooting in Charleston, South Carolina at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church and how sad and tragic that a human being can become so disconnected to the sanctity of life. Where did this hate come from and why was he on psychotropic drugs? Taking away guns will not stop a person like this because they will just find another means to kill or get a black market gun. The death penalty will come into play here and that brings up the other issue of proper justice for the crime involved. Do we say we will kill you because you are not to kill? Can a person like this be redeemable? Are we all getting numb to this kind of crime because it is happening more frequently?

I have always believed that coming to Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and learning His ways of living in this world is the only and final answer to this fallen world. I know to some this is far too simple an answer to the evil in this world. But it is an answer that I have seen many times over that has worked healing and reconciliation in people's lives and various communities. Allowing Jesus into your life and then committing to pray and study the Holy Bible consistently one can truly live as a follower of Jesus as the Holy Spirit takes over one's life for the better. Finding a Christ-centered church to help you live out a strong faith in a community can be a joyous life-giving boost to your life in Jesus.

John the Baptist was a man crying out in the wilderness that the world needed to repent of their sins and accept Yahwah's Savior which was Jesus Christ and many thought he was a crazy man. I believe my voice is to be a voice crying out in cyberspace directed by Jesus to cry out to the world, how badly the world needs Jesus Christ... some will even think I am crazy too.

CATHOLIC TENDENCIES

  Ever since I was introduced to the Catholic Church I have been fascinated by this body of the Christian faith. One thing that has stuck with me that I admire is the unashamed strength to stand up for what they believe and back it up with The Three Pillars of the Church. Now for those who do not know The Three Pillars, they are number one, Sacred Scripture which comprises the Old Testament and New Testament in a total of seventy-three books. Next is the Apostolic Tradition which is the Living Tradition and the liturgies. Thirdly, The Living Magisterium which is the teaching authority of the Pope in Communion with the Bishops. So what brought this topic up for me is listening to a podcast by Fr. Mike Schmitz denouncing the opening in France of the Olympics when blasphemy was committed by mocking The Last Supper of Jesus Christ. I know some of you are thinking this is already old news. At the time, so many wrote and talked about it that I felt it would be overkill if I wrote about i...

FAKE-FALSE-DECEPTIVE

  I have recently been thinking about what it is like to live in a time when you have to rethink or fact-check everything. It is tiring and outright exhausting not being able to trust things at face value. THE BIG PRINT GIVES IT and the little print takes it away!  Satan works this way in our lives: You are of the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44 It is no wonder we have to be constantly alert and on guard. Fake news is a big one but there are knock-off Air Jordan sneakers, Gucci handbags, Rolex watches, and the list goes on and on. Identity theft is another player on the block where a person steals another person's identity and then poses as them but they are just a cheap knock-off! I want the truth. I want authenticity. I do not want to waste my ...

TRAVELING WITH ROMA TO ROME

  Throughout my years with Roma, I have dragged her through so many different church doors to either preach or play music for, or simply to explore. She has been a really good sport about it all. But last month she came to me and told me from the heart that before she dies she wants to be Catholic.  Channeling my inner Baptist long-windedness I will share with you a very tender and private story of faith.  Roma grew up going to St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church. She went to school there and worshipped there too. When she came of age she wanted to be Catholic and her mother would not allow it. She was heartbroken. She eventually went to the Episcopal Church as a compromise. But in our intimate talks recently she shared deep down she wants to be Catholic before she dies. This has been a lifelong buried desire of hers. I love her and so I have been working on seeing if I can make this happen for her through my contacts that I have. I would naturally join with her so she is not...
