i am thinking again
i read this today, it is from a friend of a friend and even though i have never meet this girl i know what it is like to feel rejected by god, why would god want me when i did all that i did, today i no longer feel like this, i believe in a loving and caring god that has always been with me, i want to share this with others to let them know that no matter how insuficiant their concept of god may be it doesnt matter, god is in all of us, everytime i am kind to someone that is god in me, everytime i help my children with homework it is a universal strenght that keeps me calm, each day i celabrate free from addiction god is there walking me though each day, i have always told people that i am not the most spiritual being on the planet but i do try to live by basic spiritual principals,
1.Honesty
2. Hope
3. Faith
4. Courage
5. Integrity
6. Willingness
7. Humility
8. Brotherly Love
9. Self Discipline
10. Perseverance
11. Awareness of God
12. Service to others
According to the dictionary "spiritual" has to do with the spirit or soul; unearthly: not of this earth, on another plane. We all have different concepts of what spirit we serve and that’s ok, my god is big enough to encompass all views. What is important is that we serve something other than ourselves. There is nothing out there that i know of that can take away your spirit than herion, chemical dependancy cut me off from a loving caring god for 2 decades, i had to forgive myself in order to be forgiven, let go of the past and really think about how i can become a better person, i could not have done this without spiritual help, the world i was linving in was and is full of spiritually bankrupt people it became normal to lie cheat and still, and ofcoarse the other zombies at the methadone clinic were just a vessel that injest dope, no giving just taking. Its tough when you have always been a taker to start helping people without asking anything in return. Chistianity aside if we look closley at the 7 deadly sins it really makes sense
Lust is usually thought of as involving obsessive or excessive thoughts or desires of a sexual nature
christains are not the only people who get horney, so to me this is something that affacts the majority of the poulation, even myself on this newly spiritual journey, so i know i want to stay loyal to my husband, but does that mean i have to throw away my huge porn library? vibrators too? i guess it depends on the person, in sc it is not only a sin to perform oral sex in is a crime
here is one i do daily...., meaning to gulp down or swallow, gluttony is the over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste, yes the damn cookies!!!
what about greed! all my life i have always wanted it bigger and better, it meaning everything
4 years ago i lost my home, the only housing i could afford was an iner-city pay by weekly hotel, i could not imagine my life any worse than it was then, now i look back on the experience as something i needed to do to be able to grow and change into who i am now, by the way i lived in that hotel my first year clean, and you want to talk about sins going on in that place, another time maybe. and really i have proven to myself over and over again, i cannot expect more from the universe when i do not appreciate what i already have, i say this to my children atleast once a week
More than other sins, the definition of sloth has changed considerably since its original inclusion among the seven deadly sins. In fact it was first called the sin of sadness or despair. It had been in the early years of Christianity characterized by what modern writers would now describe as melancholy: apathy, depression, and joylessness — the last being viewed as being a refusal to enjoy the goodness of God and the world he created, a ggod example of this sin/word living amoung our community is the number of children and parents taking anti-depressants, i believe that pscy meds are responsible for the weight problem in america not mcdonalds, i have lived in a destitute st
