I was lucky. I found God and Jesus when I was very young. I need someone in my young life who loved me unconditionally and they found me. I enjoyed Sunday School - there wasn't a Sunday I didn't go unless I was sick.
Now though all I see on social media are meditation sights, alternatives to the Holy Spirit basically.
Even though I found Jesus early - I am talking under 10 years of age, there were times where I felt that heart rush of finding him again. Once in July of 1977 - you see my born-again friends convinced me that on 7/7/77 the world as we knew it was ending. I was prepared I took Jesus as my savior and well, the world didn't end,
There have been motivational speakers who have made the heart flutter to and each time I know it's the Holy Spirit reminding me that it is there.
Why does it seem like a society we are moving away from God - the whole half time show debate was so unnecessary - we have had plenty of things happen in the half time shows that were controversial. Has politics split this country so bad that we can't love anymore.
I liked the half time show - so what if I don't speak Spanish - there was great dance music - I never understand half the singers anymore - sure sign I am getting old.
So much fun. Why can't we just have fun anymore. Everything seems to cause a problem.
Well, I am going to try to follow the Holy Spirit this month. Reflect on Lenten Readings. Maybe share a few here. That is how this blog started.
Back in 1969 John Lennon did a song entitled "Give Peace a Chance" The song champions for the cessation of war and the promotion of peace among all people in the world.
He was calling for love and tolerance in a bid to achieve world peace. He was calling on all peoples to put an end to the trifle differenced that have caused so much pain and suffering and embrace a united front that aims at promoting love, unity and peace.
That was 1969 - I guess we haven't changed at all.
