No I am not a big fan of death even though this is my second post on the subject. I was at a funeral mass yesterday and the question I was left asking myself was: Is death a loss or gain.
As a christian there is only one answer to that question and I only pray that the good Lord may fill me and you with wisdom and grace to be prepared to gain eternal life when our time here is over.
Eternal life; best bottom line you can get!

My answer to Relativism
Happy New year to you all! May the Good Lord drench us with Grace and all the blessings from above this year.
Now I am sure as most of you have noticed the Holy Father and a lot of other people are real concerned about relativism as an impediment to the full experience of faith- it's joy and sweetness- and catholicism in particular.
Well I would like to promote a new thought today people I call it Pivotism. Pivotism is basically a modern day total dependence on Christ, a severe hunger for Him and His Love, a constant search for Communion with Him and a total openness to his will. After one has become a pivot one must then look for and being the pivot anchor at least one more Christian by means of inspiration , ministry and prayer to become a pivot as well.
For any Christian that feels inadequate in fervor, desire and hunger for Christ they must take the reverse route and seek out a pivot to anchor and inspire them to a highler level of intimacy with Christ.
In the end we all must be smalll pivots who are all anchored on the Ultimate and Eternal Pivot Jesus Christ son fof ther True Living God.
I know its an old version of be your neighbour's keeper but whats important is to giv e it an identity and practice.
I'd luv ya thots

You and I are Refugees
A deacon at my church who actually lives and works in Sudan put advent in a whole new light for me.
He says in the same way that most Sudanese people are refugees in other nations and yearning to go back home in peace and start to live their lives anew so are you and I as christians.
WE are refugees too here on earth and we have always to keep yearning to go back home that has to got be top of our yearnings.
Say a prayer for peace in war torn Africa today and pray that we may all end up home with the Good Lord for ever.

beatin tha devil down!
Excuse the forthrightness of the title but at this stage the honeymoon of my new friendhip with the Lord is kind of over. Temptations are flooding in and it does get tough..............more than I can tell you but I always try to think of how sweet it is now being in communion with the Lord and forever in the life to come and that's where my strength comes from.
That the good Lord is here with me and will not leave but will stand with me and hold my hand.........................
Dont laugh ladies and gents but I am learning a pivotal lesson of faith here it is never I or me or myself it's always We me and the Lord unless I take a U turn or a side street into sin. ( Stress the world always.)
The evil one has got unbelievable tenacity even with Jesus nigh he still tries to make a pass at me and that's ok because I am determined to avoid his kiss of death.
Thats my prayer today that I may steer clear of evil and in the sweet company of My Lord and Saviour especially this Advent season

Falling into sin
After my conversion there have been immense moments of bliss and such an awesome feeling of being right.
However in the past two weeks I have fallen back into some shameful habits.......hard to imagine when I look at my previous posts.
I have had moments of pure shame, swam in muck I thought I would never get stuck in again. It's annoying, sickening and painful to contemplate and remember!
I know the Lord is beside me stretching out his hand to help me up get back on the road of righteousness again and I appreciate that greatly and Love Him for his awesome mercy and goodness.
I know my self anger will get me nowhere and I ask the good Lord to save me from self judgement and derision. My point this is really a point of maturity for me.
I need to stop getting mad and getiing even. How? By showing my Saviour that Yes I do Love you and my sin was just but a slip.
I also pray for the grace of commitment that I may perservere in faith.
I know this post is not entirely eloquent, flowing or sensible.
But my soul is developing a calm and easiness now that I really did not possess when I started writing this post.
God Bless us all.

O come let us adore him!
Thanks to Hollywood most people consider Beauty and the Beast, the frog and the princess, the film Titanic and Romeo and Juliet the biggest love stories of our time-wrong! The biggest love story in the history of humanity is contained in the little white host the priest blesses in every mass.
The Eucharist is undoubtedly the best part of being a catholic and Eucharistic adoration is God doing only what He can do-making the best much better and even more special There is nothing greater or fulfilling than the chance to be with Jesus one on one. The Eucharist is the answer to who we are why we are here and where we are going-Through Him with Him and Him- Cannon of the mass.
Walking into Eucharistic adoration is equal into walking into heaven only that there Jesus in the humble form of Bread and not the glory of his transfigured self. If he was in his transfigured form none of us would ever leave the church but he comes to us in humility that we may be attracted to him by love and respect instead of glamour and glory those and a lot more will come later- in Heaven. We have to share in the humility to share in the glory. How far is heaven?
It is out of incredible love for you and I that Jesus Son of God contains himself in that little white host considering the world itself cannot contain him. His presence in the Eucharist is an extension of his death on the cross with arms open welcoming all of us to come and spend time with him saying “Come unto me all who are weary and I will give you rest Mat 6:28”
Do not worry about what you will do or say before you enter being there is itself a great blessing “One day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere Psalms 84:1” Try and Realize who is present in the Eucharist. Present in all three meanings of the word. 1) Present as a gift, 2) Present – Now and 3) Present Physically.
Moreover do not judge yourself unworthy to be in His Presence because He came not for those who are righteous but for sinners. “Those who are well do not need a doctor”
Go in and tell Him with reference to yourself “Lord the one you love is sic Luke5: 30,31”
Pop in and say thank you after receiving Him in Holy Communion-we do well and always and everywhere to give you thanks-cannon of the mass. Hundreds walk in through the gate, many actually receive Communion but very few pop in to say thank you. Jesus waits in the Chapel asking painfully like he did when just one leper came to say thank you…Were not all ten made whole? Luke 17:17”
