Trusting in God

In 2 Corinthians Ch 1, we see again for the first time the idea of trusting in God, rather than trying to save ourselves.  My parish priest recently preached a sermon on the subject.  We can't go it alone.  God is the only one strong enough to save us from our sin.

Falling Away, Returning

Upon reading about how Ezra read the law to the Israelites, I see parallels.  The people of my society fall away from God, and discouver the Gospel.  Individuals themselves--myself included--see their faith wax and wane.  Although, I've recently read that that last part is evidence of demon activity.  

And, speaking of demons, the falling away of the Israelite people usually included the worshiping of foreign gods--and evil practices--and then the dispersing of the Hebrew people, often being taken into exile/slavery.  The evil practices, it is said, angered God.  It is what separated the people from God.

Gone Goofy

Today, we exchanged the Peace, and sang the Olfactory Hymn.  As we started in to the Eucharistic prayer. a woman--a warden once--behind me proclaimed loudly that we haven't even exchanged the peace yet.  I think her mind is going.  I guess we all get there.  It reminds me of the struggles with my own father when he was in the home.  The worst part of it all is than when we've gone goofy, we don't even know; it hurts those around us.

It's all lies

Chilli con Carney--the Beijing Banker--says that he's going to get rid of the carbon tax and all that, in order to court the median voter.  But the left knows that he's lying too; or they wouldn't vote for him.  There will be no scrapping of the carbon tax, no pipelines built, and taxes will do nothing but go up.

Federal Polling Numbers

I just want to live in a cabin on an uninhabited mountain in the wild.  Eff the world.

14

1 Corinthians Ch 14 sure doesn't sound like St. Paul held speaking in tongues in very high regard.  And yet, so many evangelicals swear by it.  I've even been told that if I *were* a Christian, I would manifest *all* the Gifts of the Spirit.  Thomas Keating said that it was a distraction to the faith.  

And, speaking of Ch 14, there's that bit about women again.  Some would argue that St. Paul was a misogynist.  But, Cliff Knechtle says that it was (women's role in the Church) due to the fact the women were not allowed to be educated by Jewish custom; he wanted them to become educated to be authorities first, like Priscilla or Chloe.

If Carbon Tax Carney, The Beiging Banker, gets elected, I'll have to stop writing here.

LPC internet censorship is coming y'all!

If I wanted to hear from an @$$hole, I'd fart OR opinions are like @$$holes ==> everybody has one, but you don't have to show it off.

On my way to work yesterday, I passed a car with very lard decals that said college educated evil feminist on the side.  Why do people have to instigate?  It's like the Darwin fish.  Why provoke people?

Cover your head?

St. Paul talks about women covering their heads, and somehow--maybe--being accountable to men.  It's a hard passage for modern man, for sure.  Brought up up constantly by Atheists and Feminists, I've only ever heard one real good answer, and I've forgotten it.  Sam Shamoun?  Cliff Knechtle?  I'd have to go looking.

Is it a sign, or a promise?

 Nehemiah talked about the Jews being brought home when they turned back to God.

Lent

My Lent is going pretty alright.  I'm praying some, fasting some.  I offer it-such as it is--up to God.  Not as pious as I should be, I've--somehow--made peace with who I am, my failings in faith this year.

One Orange Buffoon

I'm so disappointed and discouraged. The pendulum was swinging back, toward fiscal responsibility, liberty, and small government.  Then Trump and his tariffs have single handedly handed the election to the left.  I can't take another four years of liberalism.  I want to withdraw from the world.

At the Church last Tuesday night for the soup kitchen, I felt evil.  I encountered an individual who was either suffering from severe mental illnesses, or....

Chilli Con Carney

I haven't been this disappointed with the Canadian electorate since they elected Socks McGroper after the black face scandal.  Carney is lying about cutting taxes and plagiarizing Pierre's plan.  We all know he's lying on the right, and the left knows it too or they wouldn't vote for him.
