The Power of The Soul

-
My heart yearns for God. It seeks something that I do not see and something I at many times do not feel. Nonetheless the urge,  the inclination to seek my creator is there. What is that instinct? And where does it come from?
  It comes from deep down in my soul. The creator put that desire in my DNA when he infused me with a soul. A soul that is meant to last for an eternity. The soul marks me with a true identity. The identity that I am a child of God. Just my body alone  truly does not define who I am. The reason being is that when I let my race or family heritage define me I separate myself from the children of God around me. I declare those traits superior to being made in the imagine and likeness of God.
 The fact of the matter is the more I reject God and run from His Grace the more of an animal I become. I lose sense of my soul and it is numb to me. My passions and weaknesses over power me and I give into every urge and temptation. Without God I am powerless. That is exactly what I see around me. A world filled with powerless humans. Humans that are no better than the  beasts that surround them. I cry out to God, "Lord please help me, Let my heart and your heart be one!" But I distract myself from Him in the very next moment.
 You and I dear reader must remember our soul and the power it grants us. We humans are not animals. We can laugh. Animals can not. Like our Creator we can produce art. Animals can not. Most of all the counterpart of the male human, the female human, can grow and nurture a soul in side them. The utmost respect and appreciation should therefore be shown to the female human. I am heartily sorry for the disrespect, hurtful words and actions I have shown female human beings at certain times in my life. I vow to do better and give a better example to our culture that so often undermines a woman's body.   
 Thank you God for marking my soul with your imprint. Because of that I am always in search of You and what You have in store for my life.

Just A Pinch Of Incense To Caesar

-
  During the early Christian persecution in the Roman Empire, many Christians standing on death row were asked to merely burn a pinch of incense in front of the Emperor's statue. If they would do this their lives would be spared. They were told they didn't even have to mean it. All they had to do was just go through the motions of accepting a Roman god! In response, most Christians refused and were martyred because they realized only Jesus was worthy of their love and worship. And no worldly compromise whether a handful or pinch size was worth risking their eternal soul.     Here in America, about 1,950 years later, we live in a culture that is ramming pinches of incense into our mouths. The thing is we don't have to swallow. And we mustn't swallow. Our culture has disbanded prayers to Jesus Christ in our schools. It has indoctrinated pre-marital affairs and gay lifestyles to our youth. It has created an identity crisis for males and females through diversity classes...

God vs The Idea of God

-
 Growing up I read, listened  and watched many fairy tales and Disney movies. These stories revolve around fantasy and filled my mind with hope. It formed my mind to look and think about "True" love  in a certain way. As I got older and experienced relationships for myself I realized that my view on love was in correct and expectations were to high. This was caused mostly because my idea of love was a picture painted from the videos and stories I had seen when I was young. The way we think of God and how He acts toward us is no different than the way I view true love.  Our minds can put God into a box. Inside the box, we control what God can and can not do. Because we are stuck on the Idea of God and not the true essence of God. The idea of God is subjective and opinionated. You can ask twenty people what there idea of God is and you will get twenty different answers. But since truth is king, there is only one true chemistry of God and we must do two things about it...

God Helps Those Who Help Themselves

-
    One sunny morning, a few years back in my general contracting days, I hopped into my rusty pickup truck and turned the key in the ignition. "Bang" The passenger door closed with a thud. A wide smile from my cousin/helper, Pete, greeted my tired face. I put the gear stick in drive and sped off. On the road I made a sloppy sign of the cross and whispered a five second prayer.     "I am glad you are making an effort to pray, but do you know what you really are?" Pete asked with a grin on his face.     "What am I?" I replied with a smug smile.     "You are Lukewarm. You believe in God, but you don't live your life as if it matters. I shook my head with a resounding "No!" But inside my heart I knew he was right. I had been living my life as if God and His truth hadn't matter.       Now, a few years later, I can proudly say that I am actively living out my Baptismal calling. I am by far no saint, just a constant sinner seeking re...
