Religion & Spirituality > Spiritual Life Overcoming obstacles in personal struggles: 5 of 40
As an amateur writer I tend to hash and rehash all my life's experiences to relate to my creativity as best as I can. This Is as normal as human ways get, it helps me and others I hope. Our strengths and weaknesses are only related to our life's epics and involvements. As I child then a young man I can truthfully say I was p... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Religious Concepts (Other) Genesis and geology: 1 of 3
This belief some people will find quite unreasonable and quite foolish. But all I say to you is just ponder the possibilities of a GOD who could create the entire Universe with such mathematical precision and beauty. I believe but I dare not preach that when GOD created the Universe, the Earth and Adam and Eve that regardles... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Why we can't see God: 15 of 38
The main reason we don't get to see GOD is he is GOD. Think of the being who created everything there is, with a thought. Why do you wonder why he does not come down and personally thank us for believing in him? He is who he says he is. I know this, it is fact not speculation. I have had my personal experiences with GOD's be... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Meeting Olivia Newton-John: 1 of 2
Some years ago I made a trip to the Los Angeles California area. It was an interesting trip. There I kicked around and saw quite a few sites and celebrities. I saw Billy Idol roller skating on the sidewalk between Vince and Santa Monica on a regular basis. I saw Arnold Schwarzenegger on a regular basis, ( Not personally, he ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Religious Concepts (Other) The holiest lake in the world: 1 of 2
Holly things are known to be given to us. But holly is based on faith. If at one time to the people who were there in that area, GOD said if you bathe in this water your sins will be forgiven. The people who clamor to that Lake will be forgiven for their sin because they want to honor GOD and be with him by following his ins... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Philosophy: 31 of 61
Writing for joy is always the best. Some have said it is better than the rest. Why do we write, what shall it be about? The glory, the sweet, the love we tout. Should we write a poem with vast words of beauty? Or a short horror story with knives and bounds of gory? I like the writing and vision of love. Though I am not much ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism The case against atheism: 15 of 28
As one who has seen what can only be categorized as answers to prayers, atheism is just foolish. Regardless of the seeing of any answers or miracles just the fact that your prospects are only Heaven or Hell after you die your Earthly death, I would think to look into it would be a good idea. If your going to go to a place or... More..
Health & Fitness > Therapy & Counseling Healing begins with forgiving yourself: 10 of 15
The beginning of mental distress is not a new thing, people have been crazy a long time, I have heard this before. But what exactly are the people who say this talking about? It is learned from one generation to the next. Not just from a parent or guardian, but from the world in general. That is why now we see so much meanne... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Recognizing God in everyday life: 17 of 21
I have noticed in my time, that people seem to be missing the point of religion. It is not to glorify oneself or a group of people. The purpose is to be close to GOD. To worship him, to talk him, to feel his love. It is kind of like that scene in the beginning of Bruce Lee's, Inter the dragon, where he states to a young stud... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Self-Awareness & Realization Developing inner strength: 30 of 36
As a matter of life we tend to spend time developing our inner strengths. We look at what is said about ourselves, what is said about others and what is said about the subject of humanity in general. We gage ourselves on specific accomplishments. We look at what some brilliant man of science has done or some beautiful woman ... More..
