I'm in Church. The Blessed Sacrament is exposed; it is the season of Advent, and the altar is decorated in purple, it is so beautiful! The peace it brings when I look at it, is what life is all about. It's not about me or you! It's about Jesus! Step aside! Let His light shine for all the world to see. As I look up at the stained glass window to the right of the cross hanging, I see the words "You did it." I had just finished this...

Our moral code becomes corrupt, leaving a trail of mistakes and sinful living that we just don't know how to get out of. We question whether we can ever be forgiven, once we've realized our wrong doing. The world we live in may encourage these wrongful ways, disguising enslavement as freedom; but we can escape them and be...

Erroneously this scripture has been designated to paint God, as being the greatest slot machine and blessing giver ever in the history of humanity. Though there is some truth to this revealing message about our God, this is not at all the truth in totality...

"Are you for real?" is the classic response to the revelation of something that seems way too good to be true. For instance, the sales assistant in your favorite clothing store informs you that for today only everything is 50% off, your kid aces the class in a subject you always struggled with, or the first time you realize that 'Taco Tuesday' literally means two dollar tacos all day long.

I wonder if this could this be the same...
