The Truth, The Rumor, The Lies And How It Is Today

Allot has made it's way into Christmas and it is time to set the record straight about Christmas and other holidays. In other words it is time to also stop the lies in what we celebrate as Christmas. First let me say first I am not a Grinch or anti Christmas but the truth be told I would prefer to see allot of things change.OK lets begin with a easy one. Nobody knows the exact day of the Birthday of Christ so we used a Roman festival day to make this about the birth of Christ. Yes we did but to blame a church or a group of churches for this is a bit silly. I did not get a vote in this and neither did you (unless you had a time traveller) you might have gotten a say. Some people love to point this issue out as solid proof that Jesus did  or does NOT exist. Really guys this is your justification? The first written record of Jesus was in or about 23AD where it speaks of him as a rabble rouse in Palestine. OK so we know he was alive but why did they replace his birthday with a old Roman holiday. Lets look at the time Rome was in horrible state of affairs as a people who once followed Pagan holidays were being introduced to a new faith or a Catholic faith. Some will say "Hold it right there some will say what do you mean a Catholic faith they were Christians! Strike two guys as in 33AD the sect they referred to as Christians called by the writer from Rome in the same paragraph referred to these Christians as their better known tag Catholics. In fact of the Western World faiths I challenge any body to prove there was another faith in existence at the time. You cannot as that The Catholic Church was the only functioning faith until Martin Luther came along. He later called these new religious followers "dung piles"' The birth date nobody knows for sure although some scientists hold that it was in August. Also by the by it is Christmas not 'Happy Holidays' nor Xmas. Even so we celebrate our saviors birth on this day so Christmas it is.
     It makes me sick to see what we have done to that day, Halloween is over and here comes Santa Claus! Thanksgiving was all but lost except to signal the beginning of "Black Friday". Yep Black Friday I am sure that he just loves 5,000 people in line to get 22 in stock 40 inch LCD televisions. The pushing, cussing, elbow throwing, and threats. So do you really think that is how God wishes his birthday season to begin? Or do you see a much quieter Christmas where presents are not the main focus but The Christmas Story.It is a rare day when my kids expect anymore that one gift. However it is always from their Christmas gift. They list three things they want and we get one of them. Sometimes it is allot other times not. So lets save the football game for football season not in a Best Buy of Walmart.
    Let's look at the forgotten holiday. President Lincoln in 1863 authorized a day of thanks to our Lord God a day of prayer and reflection. The only reflection we may get is "I ate too much". Of course the other version is hm mm will LSU beat Alabama. God is not some unfeeling being he loves us and perhaps likes a word of thanks for what he does for you all the year. A simple Thank You Lord is all you need thank God and the Holy Spirit too.perhaps in return he will give you greater graces to love him and do what task he has for you. Yet this day created for thankfulness and praise is all but gone. I really wish they would forget Halloween it is also no longer safe for our kids. 30 years ago it was safe not anymore. Sort of places a bad position any more on us. So rise up Christ exists in writings and is acknowledged as a teacher by the Romans, If you have a issue and state that is all Christ was or ever shall be I only have one question for you. Why would 12 witnesses all tell the same story except small changes to reach their audience. Why would any of these disciples go to their deaths without saying "wait it was all made up in order to survive and live". Yet all but one died I hope you take, time to ponder these thoughts. God Bless.

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

You would think after the events on Black Friday that this competition and wasA friends,Well it's via do feel a lot like Christmas as we skip farce selves away down the aisles of Walmart and Best Buy and all the other stores in the world we see the same thing every year kicking and shoving and pushing cutting off and just being plain rude. These are the words that describe the days before Christmas as we selfishly jump over registers diagrams product designs and people to get the last talking Elmo. And in the process of getting this last talking oboe we break what grandmothers are one grandfathers but to locals knuckles and a as wrist all this for a cheap red toy that talks.It ia said that to purchase you will see in the 12 days of Christmas you will need a little over $3000. But trying to maneuver through the stores is quite possible you'll also need a good health plan. It seems that I myself never learn I avoid Black Friday like it is the plauge. We've all seen the times when sadly many were trampled to death or dying in effort to get that 40 inch screen TV for $200. Do we as a society hold our lives so cheap as to lose it while trying to get a TV. We must remember that God who do us the very beginning of time has a purpose for us a mission for us to complete and you can bet it's not to die getting ran over by people for a $200 TV you would think that after the events of Black Friday all or most of the violence associated with Christmas shopping would be over. 10 years ago you bite a been correc Now it is only a start of one of the most most hateful and crime filled times of the year. To keep an example of one of the most ingenious crimes going on in El Paso. It's sometime. Dateline 19  December 201 A woman who was home with her pet dog heard the delivery man placed two parcels on her doorstep she had heard another person on her doorstep when she opened her door she found an elderly Mexican woman with her hands holding her packages. She asked her what you doing? To this question the elderly Mexican woman replied my mother is sick and I need somebody the woman returned inside her house to get a dollar bill to give her in which she did hand her and took her packages. What got me was a postscript to this problem the person picking up the parcels was driving a Penske truck "this is somewhat like a U-Haul".You can besomebody is going to have a great Christmas at another's expense.

No longer do you have carolers Christmas plays one alone nativity scenes anywhere in sigh there once was a song because Santa Claus is watching y however it needs to do up-to-date nam how abo the ACLU is watching you.  Yes that's right folks build nativity scen and the atheist horde will burn you in effigy. Atime of Loving and sharing has turned into a season of Band-Aids and BenGay. N longer are the familiar words Merry Christmas  is it been replaced by either happy holidays or Merry Xmas. S as not to offend some twerp attempting to show his superiority to us all .although I find it funny when they say their rights are being violated by words like Merry Christmas or nativity scenes. Tey yell how we are trying to force our beliefs on them when in  reality if they win their beliefs are forced on us. So to all who say happy holidays or Merry Xmas to those who push shove force and stand on people to get what they want and finally to the atheist who is trying to do always with the celebration of Christmas I say Merry Christmas to you all and to all a good night God still loves you : as for my children I think I'll tell them Santa Claus died 20 years ago due to political correctness until tomorrow God Bless!

What a mess

Just Got my computer back everything wiped, will be back up tomorrow

Sunday, December 11, 2011

A tickle received from a twitter user named I follow hate.

In the days of my youththere were no computers, but as the computer continued to advance on our society. I became aware of certain terms hate sites as they're called. I always thought where like the KKK or far right wing hate groups or possibly even Louis Farrakhan However, I found by some study that there is a twitter account called. I follow hate. I really sort of was intrigued by this, so I went to his site and tried to figure out what he considered hate was. Blessed found out that the reason she had me on his list for I follow hate was because I was following two twitter accounts. One on Catholic saints and the other on general news of the Catholic faith. I would have to challenge anybody who has read this site to show me anywhere. I invoke hate upon another human being. However, my message to I follow hate is very simple. Number one I live to follow your site because I literally think it's funny. Number two, who is to decide what is hate and what is not? Number three why are you fit to judge what is hate and what is not. That is something only God can do. And the fourth reason is putting a label on people just because they follow certain sites or they are of a certain faith is called bigotry. So I have a suggestion for our friend for life. Follow hate. Change the name, your site just put down. I am a bigot. This would be a far more true description of your site rather than what you try to pass it on to be.



 with this matter out of the way NowNow we will continue on to today's message. If you have not already noticed that these season of Advent is upon us. This is a joyous sky, the year. While we wait to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. However, there are a lot of great examples that are locked in to these four weeks. The first is much feed the Angel Gabriel approaching Mary Ann telling her that she would see a child he shall be named Jesus. But the demonstration of an unquestionable faith is what impresses the most. Mary have been told that she was going to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit as you would have a child in Jesus. She quickly replied but the issue is said for I am the handmaid of the Lord. That simple statement of faith. You have to wonder. Would you hear it. If an angel came to earth now and begin talking to someone about a project he would probably ask them. Am I on candid camera? Such a sign of faith commitment and courage is an example to all of us. What we are. Keep love also. I'd be that in the text of if you hear a saint asking you to do something or if Christ speaks to you in college your name, you say here I am, rather than set a new record for the new yard dash out of the room. I think most of us could agree that we would either be too busy to hear or be scared out of our senses. If something happened to us on this scale it happened Mary. On the night of the birth of our Lord the Angels would force to exclaim the good news could not go to scenes they did not go to the wealthy. They did not go to a king . They did not go to the police. Instead, they went to the poorest of the poor shepherds in the fields from his tie in the womb of Mary. He was already showing that he was not coming down to earth as destroyer or come down to force himself upon us. He showed us that he was not the rescuer of people with a lot of money in their pockets, but instead he came to show that the poor, the sick had new hope. So as each week of Advent passes, think of what was going on at that at the town of Bethlehem picture it in your mind. It will give you a feeling of joy in his coming. Share them with your children. They are great story for a cold winters night. They got keep the bless you through his eternal graces.

It takes one to make a difference

Greetings to allin time periods in America's history, we have been a nation that has come together in crisis. While the political debates go on as to the type and severity of crisis we are in. I believe we can all agree that the crisis that I speak of his ongoing crisis in America everyday crisis. I speak of is hunger and poverty throughout our nation and the world it is a scourge of the land that produces so much yet gives so little both to our nation and the world. Let me be understood that I had no way support the actions nor the goals of the occupy groups that have popped up all over for I do not believe a person unless in need in this nation. Has a right to live off the fruits of this land and not take part in the harvest. It has been said, both the written and verbal forms that a single act random kindness can change the world. I myself am lodging through this blog a request that those who read this blog perform at least once a week eight act of random kindness. I don't mean a random act of kindness you already do I've been a single act of random kindness that is new. That is not for your glorification. But God's glorification. Any act we do that leads us to look for approval as an act of self-glorification. However, a act done for the glorification of God is done at a much greater level of love that we ourselves cannot measure. It doesn't take much to do this, all you have to do is care enough about your brother who is down upon his luck a week's groceries to any man who has four children to feed and no way to feed them can seem like he has just received a bag of gold, I know because at one point of my life. I was there. Thanks be to God. He showed me a way out, Alice able to help others. As I was blessed. Like I said, this is not something that necessarily costs a lot of money you can go through your closets find old close that given to the church take provide warps and possibly even a suit for a job interview that can make a difference in one man's life. Or one woman's life. There are no dues to pay and there are no papers to sign. And no one's going to look over your shoulder to make sure that you're doing what you decide to do just be a person that could love and act for God's sake, rather than your ow Even a cold bottle of water can be a welcome gift to a homeless traveler through town. I only recommend that you do this in the area where people around not so they can see what you do but from for your safety. My goal is simple. If one act of random kindness can change the world and how much could 100 of us change the world how much change could we bring with 1000 people or even how much change to agree with 10,000 people. The change could be significant and it could be life altering for the poor in this nation and add us well as overseas. Many people fail to realize that many of the people most called bums out of the street are actually veterans of the US military. If you  because this is his work we might actually Fill a few seats in pews during mass, which would also be a great ask your friends, your neighbors to join along. There are already groups for me to the Northeast as well as Texas and the Midwest. The more people who will help by giving away old close Cold water maybe some groceries to a poor family will make a change in our nation and the world for good. If you're sitting back and read this and thinking I am not going to help some bum and I got mineand I don't share with nobody. Please don't join. This is meant for those who really want to do something for the less fortunate, but wish to do it for the love of God, not self. I ask you if you are starting a group to send me a comment with just your name and location, I will not post your name but I will speak off s group at your location. I leave this decisiois .
I have n to you if you. My plan or what I am planning to do as an act of random kindness. This week I have cleaned out my closet so we'll turn over usable old close to the church on Sunday. I have not scheduled activity the next two weeks but I will and I will be spending Christmas eve and Christmas day at the homeless shelter where I live. I realize has that step, many would not take like I said it could be a bottle water a week of groceries. It accomplishes the same thing. Jesus asked where were you and I was thirsty. Where were you when I was hungry. Where were you when I was naked and finally were you when I was in jail. This is a call to action for the betterment of the world and I ask you to join if you wish to help take this change. God bless you and keep you.

Get Used To Saying No ST, Josemaria Escriva

To say no. These days is almost like letting go of a fart in an elevatoreverybody tries to find out who did it so they can respond to this persons indiscretion. This is because it is so rarely heard anymore were afraid of losing our friends so we don't tell them no. We want to impress our boss as well as impress people at church so still we do not say no. I should this point remind you all that statement. Get used to saying no. Are the works of St. José Maria  escriva. The commentary. However, is my own. Even to door-to-door salesman if his pitch is good. We find it difficult to say no to. We are to say the least a consumer driven economy as well as a nation that watches enough television to think we should always look 20 years old and not 40 years old. So we are a nation also stuck upon vanity and few think of the plastic surgery the body painting the makeup to cover up any deformities in their skin. So many of us rush out and buy the first electronic doodad you can find or get out to buy what some celebrity tell you you should buy. But let's stop there. Just a second saying you got home but it was a little late and besides, you have a killer date tonight. So you don't get to use either your new electronic doodad or the makeup it was recommended by a movie star. As it turns out it was a killer date and the next make up you will use will be put on you at a funeral home. So the put is simply the old rules stands that you can't take it with you. And as you really begin to understand how silly it was to purchase that the day before, and Jesus turns to you and says what I was hungry, you did not feed me when I was cold. You did not clothe me what I was thirsty you gave me no water and some will say when did I see you hungry when did I see you naked when did I see you thirsty And then you will hear the words we all dread the hear begone from me he Cursed , for I never knew thee. All of this happens because of the fact you could not say no.



No When you first start learning to say  buddy things begin to happen Funny Funny When you begin to develop. hen you begin to develop  the habit of saying no To beginFunny thing is begin to happen when you first begin to learn how to say no. A example of this would be like your your buddies from work ask you to go out and have few drinks after work, now of course you ask can my wife come? The answer of course is a resounding no, because it seems to be a male bonding experience to drink to get drunk and talk bad about your wife. Well, it is fortunate as I who enjoy having my wife with me you will tell them no thanks. However, they will keep asking for at least a month and a half before they tag you as some sort of outsider. You will find that you have less and less friends that hang around you, let alone even come near you. The same begins at your home less and less you're no longer with wanting to buy the newest electronic doodad nor are you wanting to buy whatever the goop that is in a bottle that swears it will help keep the young just like the models say. But also you begin to notice benefits you begin to eat as a family around the table also your wife becomes less than that person who fixes your meals and more of a friend. You begin to think more of others than yourself, and suddenly you find you're getting blankets to the blanket drive. So the poor will be warm. And you find yourself beginning to spend part of your Christmas handing out food to the less fortunate whether as a church, or as an individual handing out meals for those who have no home. The holiday season And let us get one thing straight between us. It is not a happy holiday. It is not happy x- mass. Plain and simple. It is Christmas. Right here is one of the best places in the best beginning to say no. After time you will get stronger and stronger and be able to say no  more and more frequently. Then perhaps you'll hear the words from Christ, we all long to hear which are well done thy good and faithful servant, enter into the joys of heaven
