Stitched Up Old Scar

So, I woke up thinking about all this stuff from the past. Most of it was troublesome, kind of an uneasy feeling that accumulated as I thought about more stuff. I realized the mounting bad start to my day and prayed to Jesus to take this twisted mess and fix it. At light speed he showed me a scar on my hand that I got in the Navy. I was a cook and while opening cans I cut my hand on a previously opened can. I used to leave the lids up and then go on to the next can. I learned from that cut and resulting infection, that you shouldn't leave the lids up, you should bend them down within the can. That's what Jesus was showing me. The scar was on my hand; my life has happened and I can see it just like I can see the scar. I learned from that cut; I learned from those experiences in my life. I should just put my trust in Jesus and through his intersession I can proceed through this life. He makes it possible to navigate through my scars.

Cosmic Buddy

I heard a priest during his homily say, "some think of God as their cosmic buddy." He was implying that God is not our cosmic buddy but we are his creation and completely dependent on His grace.

I agree…the cosmic buddy thing doesn't work for me. I think of God as our Father who has no choice but to be the truth and leads us into the truth.

Breathing

I can breath again, finally went to the doctor for my allergies and I can now sit outside and just chill. Thank you Lord.

My Own Life

How do we deal with suicide, especially with somebody who has money, prestige and is over the hump?

I don't know the whole answer but I do know that memory from scripture, tradition and the magisterial teaching help.

Being lukewarm in faith is dangerous.

I must remember, always, that things of this world are passing, my future is eternity.
