Religion
Posted in following Jesus, God, religion on September 23, 2005 | 3 Comments »
I was reading a fellow blogger’s post and it got me thinking about the term “religion”. Honestly, I hate the word. Particular in Western society, the word religion has connotations of rules, rote actions, and rites that don’t really carry any real meaning. To most, Religion is something people often use as a weapon to [...]
My thoughts on life

My thoughts on life Lately I’ve been thinking about life and what really matters. I wrote out my life purpose for the money map thing and I realized that a lot of the things that our culture values aren’t necessary to fulfill what I believe my purpose during the short period of time that is [...]

*Collapse* I think my ability to deal with all that life is throwing me at the moment is becoming less and less. I feel like I have so many things coming at me that I may crumple. Thankfully, God’s grace sustains me and He also has given me a wonderful man who is there for [...]

It sometimes frustrates me that I have to so often learn things “the hard way”. The trials I go through — from teeny to huge — are frustrating and often painful to go through. But God teaches me so much through each difficulty. Sometimes it’s something hitting me from the outside, and sometimes it’s my [...]

An attempt at brevity I know, I know, it’s been forever since I last posted. You’re probably thinking I “took the plunge” and then disappeared off the face of the earth! haha. Well, here I am. I am going to try to briefly recap the past few months, but we’ll see how brief it actually [...]
