About me - Truth Blazer

I am a happily married man who is younger than he feels and older than he remembers. I have more hair on my butt than on my head and I often smile at the irony of life. I grew up in a stable home with both parents still together after 30+ years (a miracle

Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Christian: 1 of 6

This is my story... Childhood I did not grow up a Christian. My parents both had rough lives and were of the agnostic mindset. I did not go to church growing up (except rare visits with friend's families when I stayed the night). We celebrated holidays but in the secular fashion; Christmas was about Santa Claus, Easter about...
Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Can you make God change his mind?: 5 of 18

If the Bible is used for your discernment as to who God is, than He absolutely has changed His mind before by man's persuasion. Remember the story of Exodus? Moses was on the mountain receiving the law from God and the Israelites were making the golden calf and worshiping it. God became very angry and was going to destroy th...

Night Terror I heard the gentle rapping of a tree brush against my bedroom window, awaking me from my sleep. I opened my eyes slowly to catch a glimpse of the time, but my eyes were too dim to make out the glowing red digital clock. I put my head back on the pillow and closed my eyes when suddenly I heard sounds of laughter ...
Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Why people believe in God: 23 of 74

I remember being in high school my junior year when one of my friends was radically different after I hadn't seen him all summer. He had Jesus! And boy did he want to tell everyone about it! I was drinking and partying in those days and he annoyed the crap out of me. It seemed like I had a bulls eye on my back that said "Thi...
Health & Fitness > Substance Abuse Recovery from substance abuse: 8 of 20

What Are We Up Against? It is a shame that so many of us focus on a symptom and not the underlying disease. As was stated in another article, the symptom is simply the "acting out" of this disease we all seem to have. It is a disease that has been called many things, i.e. addiction, depression, or ism. While many of us may b...
Religion & Spirituality > Churches & Organizations Should Christian churches allow gays to be ordained as priests?: 39 of 82

This is absolutely, positively, the most ludicrous question ever proposed. First off, how can someone who openly sins against God and his or her self be able to lead people to this God for salvation? Sin is disobedience from God. It is the evil force that keeps us separated from God. We all have it and we all must rely on th...
Health & Fitness > Depression Beating depression naturally, without prescription medication: 4 of 8

Is this really so terrible to deserve last place? Depression is such a difficult problem to overcome because the depressed person usually doesn't have the strength to want to fight it. You can tell a person to exercise or clean their house or do anything that takes their mind off of themselves and their problems. But if trul...
Health & Fitness > Depression Depression: How bad choices can lead to bad habits: 11 of 18

Either this analogy must suck or someone is out to get me! Last place! Come on... Life is like an enormous arrangement of standing dominoes. There is one in front and one at the very end. After the first domino are a row of more dominoes, waiting to be knocked down after the first one is pushed. These rows fork, twist, and g...
Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Living with depression: 104 of 166

From my earliest memory, I remember feeling a sadness. I was the kid who rarely smiled, hardly laughed. I couldn't have told you why back then. It took many hard years to finally understand. I just remembered feeling out of place and empty inside. I had a life planned out but it seemed so meaningless to me. After years of dr...
Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism What was the cause of atheism: 17 of 27

All types of people wake up in a world that they have not created nor defined. We find ourselves in a world, in a time, in a certain place that influences and shapes us. We all want answers. We want to understand the purpose of all this. While we all may be sincere in seeking this answer, we do not all arrive at the same con...
