http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/FineYoungSinger8266/So I’ve decided that since I’ve been leaving some of the longest danged comments in other people’s religion and spirituality blogs, it’s high time I pay the silly $3 and start my own. As I read around, I’ve noticed that very few bloggers here really want to "discuss" religion and spirituality. I’ve gladly found a few exceptions, and hope that they find a welcome place here to post some opinions and share in discussion. I have two rules: 1. NO NAME CALLING. I don't care who you are or what you believe, if you call anyone---ANYONE---a name in my blog you're blocked permanently. 2. No Generalizations. Qualify your statements carefully.hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/FineYoungSinger8266/614476http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/FineYoungSinger8266/611401The real answers to those questions asked ad nauseam by all the doubters of the world can be found by stepping outside of that safety zone of their inferior version of reality, which sadly is formed by their emotional states and preconceived biases without them even realizing it. Using your own...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/FineYoungSinger8266/611155http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/FineYoungSinger8266/603386A dear friend of mine found out two weeks ago that he is HIV positive. This news has rocked the world of my little circle here in my neck of the woods. We are all very upset, especially since Marti is only 25. We, Marti's friends, are experiencing extremes of emotion to this news, from shock to...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/FineYoungSinger8266/601439Now that the weather is getting nicer, I'm sure many would welcome an outdoor activity. Take a little walk, either in your back yard, or if you don't have one, to a nearby park. Take a sheet of paper with a pinhole poked through the center with you. When you get there, stop and look through the...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/FineYoungSinger8266/595611Have you ever known a person that, no matter what you say or do, works tirelessly to pigeonhole you into a category based on their own limited perception? Have you ever known someone that never sees the error in their own thinking, and will resort to circular reasoning and insult hurling before...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/FineYoungSinger8266/588462Saturday morning, about 10:30, I was driving home from the local music store when I came upon a hitchiker. This was a pretty crappy side of town--you know, that side of every town that looks like a bomb was dropped on it and left to bleed to death. She was skinny, stumbling, and underdressed for...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/FineYoungSinger8266/586335Yesterday I had lunch with one of my dearest friends. She's been long-term substitute teaching the religion classes at one of the local Catholic high schools. The semester will be over at the end of January, and then she'll move on to other subjects on a day-to-day basis. Because she taught one...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/FineYoungSinger8266/584250"There are six things the Lord hates, yes, seven are an abomination to him; Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood; A heart that plots wicked schemes, feet that run swiftly to evil, The false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers. Pr 6.16-19 How...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/FineYoungSinger8266/583707(Pt. 2) "Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?' Then I will declare to them solemnly, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you evildoers." Mt 7.22-23 Clearly, Christ is...
