My Road To the Priesthood

Friday, 9 April 2004

I am not so hard to reach any more:
I have been a hard person to reach because I am never in one place for any given time. I thought about getting a cell phone but I did not want to be forced in to a contract, or monthly payment that I knew I did need. I don’t have a lot of need for a phone so I did not want to pay for any thing that I did not need. So Joe told me about prepaid cell phones, got one and it works grate I by the time that I think I need with know more commitment then that.

I just need to remember to keep it turned on when a am waiting for a call. I even have a message service for when the phone is off. As I get closer to the day that I enter the Seminary I am more and more conches of not taking on any debt that I may not be able to handle. This is my way of stay true to that obligation.

The missing books of the Bible
One day I was reading the Bible with my mother & we came a crossed a blurp in the Catholic Bible vs. King James Bible. We where reading the book of Daniel and we came to chapter 12 and I started to read chapter 13 and my mother asked me what I was reading So I told her Daniel 13. She replied, “Why dose my Bible only go to 12?” I said to her “Because it is a King James.” Then I laughed, and we went into a long discussion about the books the Protestants call Hypocritepha. These are the books that they did not like so they just took them out of the Bible. They shortened books, and completely took others out. We have seen this kind of censorship with in the last century with the Nazis.

When some one wants you to shape your thoughts to how they believe the first thing they do, is they don’t tell the whole story, then they destroy any information that dose not agree with there teachings. You can’t form a educated thought about something if you don’t have the whole story.

It almost been a year
It has been almost a full year séance she walked out of my life for ever. I find it hard to believe that this year has gone so fast. It was last August that I fund my self in the hospital and came home to a note on my desk. In the note she told me that she was gone forever. She said that she could not live a lie any more. I thought that she loved me, I had been willing to give her my life, but she could note understand that I have to help other this is the man that I always have been. Money never has had any value in my life, and Suzy could not fathom this fact. She had her life handed to her on a silver platter. And as a result she is vary selfish.

At first I thought that we were going to be married, I was saving my self for that night. But I guess she could not wait, I caught her cheating on me. It was at that point that I knew it was not going to work out. I tried to talk to her even went to a counseling session to find out what the problem was. She refused to go. But it is 1 year latter I have a renewed hunger in my faith and have answered a call to the Priest Hood. I have never been more happy.

My friend
Joe is a good friend but he is a protestant. He dose not think that any of our beliefs are correct, this some times gets in the way of our friendship. We tri to keep the differences in doctrines out of our talks and just talk about the Bible. We do pretty well, that way. We booth love Jesus and read the Bible. It is the bases of our friendship. But Joe likes to play this game of trivia about the Bible and it keeps me on my toes.

My life in submition

I have given my life to Jesus. I keep and maintain a job, but my bills are low. I support my mother and sister with the money that I bring in. The rest of it is put in to savings to pay for school, and given to the Church.

I set a side the weekend for my devotion to God. I spend Saturday and Sunday at church giving my time and service. Every day I love Jesus and the church that he created even more. I read the Bible everyday as often as I can. When my thoughts stray I find my self praying. More times then not I wake up in the morning with a prayer of my lips. When I pray, I ask that my family grows closer to God. The safety of my crew at work is a common topic.

People have been coming up to me for help. Right now I am trying to help a women find a job. Every day after work I go to a local park to make sure the kids that have no place to go will at least have food for the day. It is a slow process but I have reached Heather and I ever got her going to church on Sunday.

I have been working my fingers to the bone to make sure that I have enough to pay fore the next term. But I can not seem to raise the money. I will become the Priest that I am being called to be. If I could ask God for any one thing it would be for a way to pay for school so I may better serve him. I would ask for help from my brothers & sisters to donate what they can for invest in the coming years of the church.

My sisters boyfriend is a good guy.
But he needs to grow up. His name is C.J. he is much younger then my sister in years but they both act like they are still children. They are not wed and have no plans of being so. Yet they still live as if they were. I never have agreed with that. But that is not my cosern.

My consern is that he con't hold down a job. I got him a job with my boss and he keep calling in sick. It got to the point that he is being phased out. I met his replacement today. Dan can't depend on him to come in. I don't blame him for being up set. To day I walk in and he is sitting on the coach. I asked him how he was feeling, and he said that his ear still hearts. He stayed home from work for it. Then I asked him if he had any plains for to day he said that he is going to the Gym to work out. If he can work out he should have had the state of mind to go to work.

Dan sees this padern as well. My sister has never had any taste in men, but she likes him and he has stuck around and he dose care for her. I just pray that if this the one that he will grow up soon.
