Being Blind to God

" We are ALL Blind to God's truth, it is only when we take off our masks and truly seek God, can we ever hear and see God's work in our lives. "  I can still hear and often remember those words i heard in grade 2  at St. Peter's elementary in Trenton Ont , when the Priest said to my class when he was teaching us about God and his ways.

nearly 25 yrs later, as a born again Christian , Those words still ring true. as they ALWAYS will be truth. Often i find my self doing my own thing, still praying and trying to live for God, only to have friends that i dont always speak to or speak to me, comment to me about how i am straying from the path of God. I do not get angry due to HOW they spoke to me and showed me compassion. which is always good for fellow Christians to do , and not drop the hammer on one another other wise you will just shun the person and make them think they can never do anything right, and stop trying in their walk.

It is in those words i realize wow they are right, I need to adjust my sites and turn back to the right path.
This past weekend , i had a Woman who i have known ,  for a while comment on a photo i posted on line that was a t-shirt that was talking about how Jesus is the only way. She commented if you like this , this why do you post questionable photos of questionable woman. I thought wow! she is right. she must be since i must be so far from the path that the post i posted make her want to comment in the rare times she does comment its always in correction. never blasting or angry, but with compassion.

Later on that morning in Church, my pastor was talking about the Hall of Faith, The Hero's of faith, in Hebrews 11. " Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.² This is what the ancients were commended for " .Ordinary people doing Gods work, i have thought in the past reading the passages, wow i could never do they , they are so much better in their faith and know more then i do. but i realized sunday as Pastor Paul was talking, no no no, they were just like me and everyone else, human , they were just doing what God wanted them to do. Moses has a stuttering problem , Lazarus was dead but came back to life thanks to Christ. 

So back to my point , ya i went off the rails but ya. haha If we do not open our eyes to God's truth, we are all blind. I realized that i cant live for God and still live like the world by my self, i need his constant truth and correction daily, and avid those traps and snares that beset me on a daily bases.. It's also in prayer and seeking God we will find his truth, and in that, isnt that the point finding God's truth? It's the only important thing.

Christmas the ups and downs

Ok people its CHRISTMAS time again , not Holiday time, or any other PC BS name for it, since well i only celebrate Christmas. ..... anyways, around this time , Oct 5, 2007, my mom died suddenly, and well Christmas that year was shit, and has been since, but the pain has not been as raw this time around ,due to well i stopped expecting my mother to come in the door every time it opens when i am in Cobourg visiting family, or her voice when my cell phone rings. it has finally more or less hit me in the face, well a while ago it did , say the 2nd Christmas.

But i did call my sister or my aunt the 1st time it snowed since i would call my mother every time it snowed since i have lived on my own since college in 2000. as my Pastor Frank said this past sunday at Church, do something that makes YOU happy and not others but only you to ease the pain of a loved one's dead and remembering it over Christmas, like lighting a candle at their place at dinner, ( just dont knock it over when your fighting over something stupid that someone said ). what i have done is i write songs , or poetry, paint. or just talk about it. which help.

i dont know how others deal with it, i know some rather drug and drink them selves in a stoopper to "ease the pain" but when you wake up from said event the pain and memory are still there. and well its kinda lazy way out of it. The Grief share group helped me alot dealing with the pain and loss.

and Remember the REAL meaning of Christmas is about the birth of our (most of us) Savior Jesus. not about who made the best blank or who is better then who, or just bc they work for the government that gives them the right to treat the rest of the family like they are scum bc well that BS, i had to deal with that crap with some relatives, so if YOU also have family like that, best to avoid them all together, and spend time with family and friends that you DO like and that you DO enjoy being around and love to talk to.

if your finding it hard to get in to this Christmas spirit , well watch some CHRISTMAS movies, like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, or The Muppet's Christmas Carol. or even help in a soup Kitchen, something. just don't go nuts and have super crazy idea's for Christmas will be awesome, just have fun damn it! don't be all whinny and emo because its cold ( its still pretty warm here in Ontario ) outside and there STILL is no snow on the ground or you didnt get what you really wanted for Christmas. just enjoy it, b\c well it could never happen again. and remember AGAIN just have fun, b\c well in the end no one gets out alive .........

NO ONE! ....... ok .....

SOME get out alive..........

but not all........

my mom's 60th birthday and 4yrs after her passing

Oct 3rd would have been my mom's 60th birthday, 4yrs ago on the 5th of Oct, she passed, alot has changed in everyone's lives that she touched, i was a childish "man" always joking and being silly. i am now less silly and less childish man due to having to realize i needed to grow up and deal with her passing in my own way.

now i hug my nieces tighter and longer when ever i see them, one of them even said your hugs hurt me sometimes, i said to abner, i hug you tight bc it hurts so much how much i love you and your sister.

some days all i see is my mom's face and others i forget what she even looks like. or even the sent of her perfume is all i can smell some days as well. same as her voice.

Harold Camping and the non end of the world

the world did not end on may 21st 2011 at 6pm like Harold camping said, if it did it would have wrecked a very good BBQ that my friend Greg was cooking for me and his roommate Vinnie, i was down in London visiting him and others.

Doomsdays profits are nothing new, they have been around since the days of Christ, and sadly will always be around. As it says in the bible only the father knows when he is coming back. and well the father is not telling anyone any time soon.

As Christians we are a very wide and different kind a bunch, how we praise and worship the Lord is just as different as the sands on a beach. its very dangerous how people are so willing to follow what this Harold Camping is\was saying, people who make clams in knowing what Christ thinks and what the bible really means for the most part are putting their own agenda in the way, not Christs. as Jesus has said those that know my voice will follow me.

i for one do not follow what these so called profits say, bc it does not make sense. ah the power of the internet.

Smallville Series Finally May 13th 2011

Ok so Smallville has been on for 10yrs, 2001-2011, have been watching it without fail for that time, infact saying that i missed a whole year of bible study's when it was on thursday nights, when it was on a break i would go to bible study, Katie asked your here tonight, i said ya Smallville was on repeats tonight, she said so is smallville more important then learning about God, i said no not really. but i do enjoy watching the show.

Anyways, so nights last ep of Smallville, was 2hrs , i felt at the end cheated bc of the final battle with Apocalypse was so short. The build up they gave didn't pay out.

The entire "battle" was over in about two throws where there was enough time for some cave flashback scene. they did so many flash backs with the other characters, Lex's flash back sure seemed to go on too long. along with the other talking and other things. if anything should have been a 3 hr ep

yes i know its tv and the CGI and special FX are limited , but they have done so much on this show, only to some what rip off the fans with a cheesy flying shot of him like in superman returns and that whole flying the planet in to outer space.

but they did tease us with an upper body shot of him flying in space. looked good, at the very end it skips back to 7yrs later and Perry White is in charge of the Daily Planet , and Lex is running for president. and Chloe is reading a book to her son about Clark's adventures. would be nice if they continue with superman type of show soon, like batman or green arrow or something.

my rant over for now

May 2, 2011 The Canadian Election

ok so today is the day we vote for a new Prime Minster of Canada, i voted earlier , for the NDP party, but my political views are more socialistic, Canada is pretty much a Socialist country, universal health care, welfair , help for the blind and homeless. your telling me thats not at least on paper Socialist at all?

there is no way the Green party of Canada would EVER win the election due to their platform which is pretty much shut down anything that pollutes, get rid of the military , ya good luck with that.

as my mom said often, for you woman go out there and vote, 80 yrs of being able to enjoy that right, so do it. other wise you cant bitch about how things are run. you have a voice, use it. Hitler was voted in by only a few votes.

the death of Osama Bin Laden-

ok so last night the " NEWS" said the American military had killed Osama Bin Laden, yet 20 hrs later there STILL have been no photos been shown. Normally americans are all hard core about their chest beatings and look at what we did kinda photos. yet people are SO willing to believe it without photo proof , or a body on "LIVE" tv.

people! come on , question what your being told. Osama already died years ago and he had kidney failure, and pulmonary disease- one does not live long after that! people are so gullible, where are the photos! dont let what the News or Oprah , the view or any other main stream media type think for you, YOU think for you only!

the only truth is what God says.

Easter

as you know this weekend is Easter, oddly its really late to come this year. normally its in march or VERY early April. never the last weekend of the month. anyways. as always like Christmas, its an important time for me and other Christians.

Every Christmas and easter i post a photo of either Santa or the easter bunny hanging from the cross to make a point about keeping Christ focus on either event. and people of course lose there minds. but i do it to make a point. yes its extream but sometimes people need extream points of views to really get the point.

and of course the stores are trying to Hoore out chocolate bunnies or what ever, trying to say this is what Easter is about, The amount of commercialization in this nation is ridiculous. The media industry will commercialize anything just for that fat bonus check. How did the resurrection of Jesus become associated with rabbits and chocolate painted eggs? I just love how the media just spoon feed the public B.S and they just gobble it up willingly and spend money on useless treats. Easter is about Jesus and his defeat over death! It’s not about some fat fool or some ditsy girl going to get chocolate because of the season. It’s the same thing with Christmas too!

It’s just sad how there is a common ideology that puts together Easter and chocolate due to the fact that it is a norm, and trust me; I’m not saying this because of my abhorrence for chocolate! Comments anyone?

rant over.... for now! Reverend Red Menace as spoken!
