Some of us are in limbo. We dont accept all the rules and regulations of the Church. We are tired of an old boys club resisent to constructive change. Who havent really confronted their own sin yet. Who are protected by tradition and established authority.
Who dont think they need to earn...

i had a banana at 6.00am.
I last ate at 6.00pm last night.
Its not hurting at the moment. Easy in fact.
Can i make it a 24 hour fast?
Until 6.00am tomorrow?
too ambitious....
maybe 6 or 7pm tonight is more realistic.
night to night is easier perhaps....will have trouble...
A whole blog entry devoted to my right leg. My leg is thrilled at the attention. It already is starting to relax.
My leg is becoming the attention seeker of the century in my small but VIP world. If it aint tight calves, its achilles inflammation or shin splints. A new one is heel bursor.
I...
I retired too soon.
I eased down too slowly before the race was run.
I'm losing interest
that's a sure sign
I feel Ricky in After Life
Who gives a toss
Yes its self pity
Yes it narcissistic
Life's not all about me?
Well its not all about you either
I need a joke now
to save this maudlin mess

Be careful what conclusions you reach.
About:
yourself
other people
life
Christianity
God
revisit those assumptions ....dont be afraid to admit you were wrong.
doubt can be good.
where are you? and what happened to TLT?
what a shame there is no Catholic lite. No softer version of Catholicism on the menu.
what about

My username used to be bcp bettercallpaul. ive been way for over 3 years. a forced sabbatical you might call it.
have I matured? enough not to look for trouble on here anyway. I would like to see a subforum for fringe Catholics. Those of us who are fed up with Church hypocrisies but want to...
This is why I think God loves irony. The fact I am now becoming an "amazing zealous catholic" while at the same time my best friend is a lapsed Muslim. :) God likes to throw a spanner in the works of our nice neat theories.
He's Indian but he was never brought up very seriously at all. He read...
It is with a heavy heart that I bade you all adieu. But don't worry, I'll be back.........
later today. :)
Is it Christian to make fun of a President? Maybe not.
Is it mature to make snarky complaints about "certain people" to avoid penalty? Maybe not.
Double-standard Pharisees abound here. I'm...
I'm gradually getting it. Because if we're not worshipping God, we're worshipping something/someone else.
I used to be perplexed, "why do we have to worship God? " Now I realise He wants our attention, He values our attention.
We may not be worshipping ancient pagan gods like Baal but we've got...
I need to trust God more. A lot more. I fear my time spent on here is actually flight from prayer. Flight from God instead of moving towards Him. I'm hoping He is listening to this prayer blog entry.
But the truth is we need to listen to Him more than Him listen to us. That's why I feel guilty...
Just finished watching a documentary on "Mortgage Stress" in Australia. One couple was tricked into over investing, now they wait for the day when the bank will take their own home. How awful is such stress! We spend so much time worrying about our lives. In this case, where will I live? How...
Instead of Amen? I think if I were a feminist I might want to use that term. Is it disrespectful? No intention to offend here. Just occurred to me that's all.
How can we be sure we are not just talking to ourselves in prayer?
I like my Catholic Bible translation but you might like the KJV? So much authority but different translations. Do we give the Word of God too much creedence? When there are so many translations and so many interpretations.
What...
Have you ever been to a counsellor? Christian or secular? Did it help?
I have been to a secular counsellor maybe 10 times in all. Never to a Christian counsellor though. I am curious to try. If I had spare cash I would try them.
There used to be a lot of stigma attached to seeing a "shrink"...
If you cant lie the person in the recovery position, get them to at least relax by sitting in a comfortable chair.
Reassure them that everything is OK now. That they are not going to lose their job, become homeless, wifeless, go to prison or be unable to afford toothpaste for the rest of their...
Are you in a monogamous relationship with God? Not distracted by other gods as you walk down the street with Him? Tempted to have an affair with sex, drugs or various forms of self-worship?
Remember God is jealous. Very jealous. He doesn't like being ignored. And anyway He is keeping His part of...
A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call asap, changed his clothes and went directly to the surgery block. He found the boy’s father pacing in the hall waiting for the doctor.
On seeing him, the father yelled, “Why did you take...
Climbing the Mountain
A small community lived in a valley surrounded by mountains. For centuries, no one had ever left the valley. One day a young man decided to climb the mountains to see what lay beyond. The village elders discouraged him, saying that there was nothing beyond the valley...
Some powerful language in the Book of Hosea I must say. Like the wooing of a male courting his female bride to be.
"I will win her back with words of love."
"I will be true and steadfast"
I will make you mine forever"
"I will keep my promise and make you mine"
But because its God, we know He is...
