The Catholic Revert

I have been Roman Catholic. I have been new age spiritual. I studied Judaism and have read Torah. I studied the Koran. I have read the Bhagavad Gita. I have prayed to the universe. I have prayed to the great spirit. I have been Agnostic. I have been a Protestant for over 15 years. I went to church on occasion. I went to church out of familial obligation. I attended church on holidays. I attended to avoid eternal damnation. I searched for faith in heaven. I went to church for others. I went to church for myself. I am Catholic again. This is my journey back to the church.

The joy of waiting

My eyes are open but I cannot see. I remember after five minutes or so, feeling growing panic. I wanted the darkness to end. It was uncomfortable. I didn't know what was going to happen.

Do you remember the old projection televisions?

All of the color seen by the human eye is either transmitted or reflected light consisting of a mixture of the 3 primary colors: red, green, and blue. Did the early church know this?

Do you require Jesus to sit in a waiting room with only old issues of Highlights magazine?

The waiting room. A place for someone to bide time. Very important people rarely encounter waiting rooms. They are usually the people that we wait for. How many times have we placed Jesus in the waiting room because he came to serve us?

I started thinking about St. Nick in November

I have been writing alongside the liturgical readings of the season, however today I was pulled off track by something that I have never read into before. I wanted to write about St. Nick and I know as I now write in November, getting so close to the holiday season, many will read this title and think about Santa Claus. Hey. If it works! Cheers to your pumpkin spice latte.

Signs of the Times

What if you knew the truth? What if we lived our life in a way that we knew with certainty that we have a messiah and that he had come? Would we live differently? What if we lived our life as though there were rewards on the other side of it? What if we were certain that when we died, suffering would end? How would we live our life now?
