Don't Tell Me There's No God

        It amazes me today that the earth would orbit around the sun once a year, year after year. How is this possible if there is no God?

**Mankind's Biggest Tragedy

        I dare say that deep in their hearts most people know that money and material possessions cannot make them truly happy, yet they still strive to get rich and accumulate material things. It often takes something shocking or unexpected like a death, an accident, a serious illness . . . to wake them up. The biggest tragedy has to be that people do not want to know the God who only wants to save them.

Jesus and the Avant-Garde

        What does Jesus and the avant-garde have in common? In a changing world, the avant-garde is always avant-garde, while Jesus remains the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Forever Refreshing and New

        Communion experience. Each reception of the Holy Eucharist is a refreshing new experience, for the Lord is forever refreshing and new.        

Effortless Creation

       For God, creating life or a miracle or anything is effortless. For us, creating something new always involves a lot of work. One thing that strikes me as an exception is creating a link to God. Anytime we wish to connect with the Lord, he knows it already. This is instant communication created without any effort on our part, unless you consider turning to the Lord to be an effort.  

On Temptation

        I've mentioned that the smart way to overcome temptation is to flee from it. I also want to point out that the more you enter the Lord and sense his holiness, the more repugnant sin becomes. Being human, you'll always feel the lure of temptation, but now you are stronger because you see that it will lead you to commit something that's repugnant to you. Also, attain union with God and you will not be lead into any temptation that can overpower you.

What God Asks of Us

        Do your humble best and not worry about the rest.

*My Greatest Joy Is . . .

that the Lord is my soulmate. A soulmate is someone completely compatible with you. This is difficult to realize between two human beings. However, with God you can attain union and become perfectly compatible with him.

The Great Tragedy

        Life can be so beautiful and complete if you can attain union with Christ, yet the world does not even want to know him.

*Doing What Matters

        In the limited time we have on earth, what matters is not how much work we get done, but doing what God wants us to do.
