May 4, 2009. By the time RCIA got to what I would refer to as the “big issues”: Mary, the sacraments, etc., I had pretty much already made sense of all of my questions. Even the months before confirmation we spent each week going over the ten commandments. Again, not much new there. Enough for today…the contest is on until I go to bed tonight! May 1, 2009. As the church tried to remain in place, it also slowly fell apart. Sunday attendance dropped from two full services of over 500 to one service wit...

This was in the bulletin at church today…I found a few of them repeat-worthy:. 8211; Opportunity knocks once, but temptation bangs on the front door forever. 8211; Quit griping about your church; if it was perfect, you couldn’t belong. 8211; If a church wants a better pastor, it only needs to pray for the one it has. 8211; We’re called to be witnesses, not lawyers or judges. 8211; God Himself doesn’t propose to judge a man until he is dead. Why should you? May 15, 2009.

In fact, I would go as far as to say that this book written by a Toltec explains the kind of love I think Jesus was talking about in a way I have never heard explained in the Christian church. This part struck me last night:. June 20, 2009. Everyone who knows me or has read this blog knows I am NOT a Summer fan. Yes, I’ve en...By Meli...
