Ifs, ands, and buts (mostly ifs) (GNP trip 4, spirit)

Garden Wall Glacier

    Going-To-The-Sun Road (faint horizontal line) is currently closed on the West side.

 

Our spirit is not fed with unfulfilled ifs.

If is a dangerous word.

If can be addicting.

If can be inspiring.

If can be an excuse.

If can bring hope.

Alcohol can bring temporary relief, or gradually diminished capacity to cope with the real word in sober terms.

Flawless (music video)

 

Full of flaws we all are.

Yes.

Perfectly imperfect.

This past weekend at Mass – when we sat close to the front/center – i felt something powerful.

(i’ve known this for decades, it’s just that it washed over me this time)

The realization that all of us are sinners.

All of us are hypocrites.

And we Christians deserve to be called those things.

Why?

Because it’s true.

So true.

My point?

Church isn’t for perfect Christians.

Heck, even some Priests can carry heinous demons.

And in the non-Christian’s name calling and the see, I told you so’s, we Christians can feel intimidated and hypnotically doubtful.

Flawless?

Heck no.

But when we understand that a crucifixion was predestined to make us flawless, perfect in our imperfections, we find peace, contentment, and joy.

And we go to Church to not feel alone (and abandoned) in our unworthiness, not to gloat about what righteous people we are.

Fear is a liar (music video)

 

Fear is a liar.

Period.

If you need help, please know you are loved beyond all comprehension and help is as close as your next breath.

There is nothing we have done and nothing we can ever do to make God not love us.

All God wants to hear from us is that we need Her.

(God isn’t a man or a woman, although we call God our Heavenly Father. May i suggest God could easily be called our Heavenly Parent….this suggestion is for anyone who is deeply rooted in The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.

Chain breaker (music video)

 

Chain breaker.

Pain taker.

Way maker.

Yesterday’s sermon was awesome.

Probably because we sat about four rows back.

That, and the fact that Father John had just returned from Rome.

When all seems lost, lean on this

 

When all seems lost, lean on this video.

Note: Serious message and decent comedy help the medicine go down.
