Abusing the Gospel

Here is a post I made on Facebook asking how do I come to terms of being gay and Mormon. If you feel that I am out of context or if I am on to something feel free to Comment.

” Well I would think that first you would need to come to terms with who you are as a person first. Religion should not make the person. Religion is a choice. That is why Heavenly Father gave us agency or free will to choose how we live. Who we are is what is built in us. IF being attracted to the same sex is where your life brings you then you need to except that even if others dont. God is all knowing and He knows you better than you do. So however God created you live in that. Straight, bi or otherwise.  Then you choose which path way to the father YOU feel is right. Worship where and how you choose. The haters can kick rocks!  God will judge the people that abuse the gospel … coming from a Mormon.. “

NFL and Mankind

So I’m kind of over all the drama in the NFL right now. There is so much going on. Players and higher ups are starting to show that they are in fact HUMAN after all.

Can you believe that? The modern age football gods have been cut and have shown blood. Metaphorically speaking of course. I am not going into all of what the players and league officials
have done. They get enough of the spot light as it is.

What I will address is that at the end of the day we are all human. No matter what our status in life is. We all have feelings and we all have a heart. We should learn to love each other as ourselves and share love to everyone no matter who we are.

If your walking down the street say hello to someone. That is a good way to change the outlook of someone’s day. If you have anger with someone take a few moments before you decided to tell them how it is. If someone believes or lives a different lifestyle than you take the time to get to know the person and don’t focus on their way of life.

Stop the hate and stop lying to yourselves.  Be honest with people and be real. Nobody wants to feel beaten up so please show some respect to one another.

Thanks for taking the time to read this post. Much love.

How to Draw your Family Close Again.

Do you ever feel like your family is falling .apart? The family unit has a lot of demands no matter what age the family member is. Who has time to sit at the table for dinner anymore? Work, school, sports and yes even video games can be hard to get away from for various reasons. In the spring of 1915 The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints sent out a letter to local families to encourage a church wide day once a week to bring the family together.

Then in 1970 President of the church Joseph Fielding Smith designated every Monday to be the official day of the week for Family Home Evening. This does not mean that it cannot be done on another night or more than one day a week. I have a friend that no longer claims to be of the Christian faith. She like to take from different religions and apply them to her life and she holds Family Home Evening almost every week. Now I am sure you are asking what you do during Family Home Evening. Well there is really no right or wrong answer.

The center of Family Home Evening is to bring the family together for a time to pray and read the scriptures. Many families hold it after dinner so a lot of times there is a dessert after everything is said and done. Some families play games or watch movies. Even if you do not claim a religion it is always a good thing to bring the family together. The Latter Day Saints believe that the most important teachings that a child will learn about life and faith is in the home. I believe this to be true. My mother and grandma raised me to know who God and Jesus Christ were. They always told me that I should always think about how God would feel if I were to do something wrong. Many years before my mother passed away she wrote a message to me and placed it inside her Bible for me to read once she has passed away.

I didn’t know about this letter until a few weeks after her passing. I opened up her Bible cover and an envelope fell out that was addressed to me. I opened up and began to read it.  To sum up the letter she said that she was very proud of the young man that I turned out to be and she knew it was because of the faith she had is Jesus Christ. She also said that my path to my personal salvation was up to me and I could not gain it because of my mom’s faith. I had to develop my own testament of His redeeming love. This is the kind of talks my mother and I had for as long as I can remember. So I can testify that this church doctrine is true and I believe everyone should apply it to their family. If you are single you can invite friends over or if you are married or dating find others to enjoy their company and grow relationships.

I feel that if families with children were to hold Family Home Evening it would help the overall future of not only this country but the entire world. If children are raised with positive morals in the home they will have a better chance of carrying them over into adult hood. When I was a kid video games started having game ratings just like movies did. I will always remember when the game Mortal Kombat came out on SNES. I wanted to rent it so I went to Blockbuster to rent it. I was so happy to find that they still had copies or it. I snagged a copy and took it to the counter to rent it.

Have you ever seen the South Park Movie, Bigger, Louder and Uncut? Remember the beginning when they are singing the opening number and they go up to the ticket booth and say with excitement “we want five tickets to see Asses of Fire please” and the attendant very firmly says “No”? Well that is pretty much what happened to me. They said I had to be 17 to rent the game. So I got into my car and went home and told my mom. I will never forget this. She went back to blockbuster by herself and rented it for me.

You might be thinking that could have been the wrong move for a caring parent to do. The difference was she trusted me and knew that I understood the difference between right and wrong. What I saw on TV, movies and video games was just for entertainment only. Besides when I showed my mom how much blood and gore was actually in the game she was shocked to find out there was hardly any bad content. I am saying this because I believe that in a lot of cases where people act out what they see in entertainment in a negative way it is because they feel that they want the on screen experience in a real life setting.

 In some cases it is just that the person feels left out and becomes controlled by what they see and want to act it out. Again I feel that if the family unit is strong, loving and supportive there will be less issues with shootings, stabbings, killings and what not. No, Family Home Evening is not the cure for the world’s problems but it can help improve them. Now I am going to go and play Grand Theft Auto Vice City on my PlayStation.

The Holy Spirit

Through the Holy Spirit God can be everywhere at once. When you stop and think about that it can be hard to understand and even a little over whelming. God can be here with me in good old Charlotte, North Carolina, with my friend Leo in Bend, Oregon, watching over my daughter CheyAnna in Hugo, Oklahoma and anywhere else you can think of. The Holy Spirit is a respecter of persons when it comes to us excepting what we are felt lead to do. I also believe that the spirit speaks to every person on this Earth no matter what they have faith in. How else would someone be able to convert to become a follower of Christ without it? We are all God’s children like it or not. We were all created in the image of Him.

Before we were born on this Earth we were living with God and we were all family. Once we are born in this life we were given a blank memory of our spiritual preexistence. Every one of us had gifts and talents that we had and we brought them with us to be able to serve God and others with them. Have you ever heard of free will? Well that is why we cannot remember what it was like being with God. He wants us to be able to live our lives the way we chose to. If we were forced to love and respect God we would do so in systematic way. We would never be able to truly understand the love that God has for us. Also I believe that we would not know what love feels like because we would be so prone to how it felt with no reason to value love.

So I feel that this could be the reason why were are here. To be able to experience life and truly understand the love that God really has for us. So many people live their lives day by day and wonder why they are even here in the first place. This is something everyone on Earth has in common. It does not matter where they live, what kind of job they have or what religion they claim to be a part of. This is just human nature. All of us have a body of flesh and bone. We all have a spirit inside of us. We all need food and water to keep our bodies healthy. We are all connected. There is no escaping this reality.

After thinking about all of that I guess the thought of God through the Holy Spirit being with us makes since. If our bodies are made the same and need the same things in order to survive then why wouldn’t we be connected with the same communication tool to the father? Some call it their conscience and some call it a feeling. No matter what you define it you should listen to it. Sometimes it could be that you are to talk to someone you see having a rough day or that person on the street asking for money. Maybe it is something like what I experienced when God told me to take the Book of Mormon to the ice cream driver on an Easter Sunday. You never know what that person has gone through. Maybe they have been praying for someone to stop and talk to them.

It doesn’t even have to be anything extreme. A simple hello and opening a conversation could change the view of the person’s whole day. Everyone at one time or another has needed to feel that they are loved and that someone was thinking of them. God always loves us and He wants us to be happy in life. That does not mean He always wants everyone to have the best car, the nicest house or so much money that you have no idea how to spend it. God wants us to be happy in the small things of our lives. If we listen to what the spirit tells us we can make better decisions on how we live our lives. When we make the first move He will show us how to continue on the path.

Going back to the Holy Spirit being a respecter of persons. If you feel the Holy Spirit prompting you to do something and you reject it could be a while before you feel it again. The spirit doesn’t want to be around when you reject it. I feel that it makes since because when you feel unwelcomed do you want to stick around? Don’t get me wrong. God will do what He wants to do and could send the spirit to tell you to do something a hundred times over. Please do not take my words as official church doctrine. In my own personal life and hearing the accounts of others I have been told that the spirit has a track record of not showing up for a while once it is rejected. Then again maybe it has to do to the way you are living. No matter what we do know that God is always watching over us and He wants to communicate with us.

It is easier to feel the Holy Spirit when you are living right with God. What I mean by this is reading the scriptures, praying, attending church, and loving people as you would love yourself. When a person is living right with God it seems that the person lives a happier life especially spiritually. The spirit is easier to recognize when we are in a positive state of mind. If you are reading this and thinking to yourself that you have had this experience without picking up a Bible, attending church or praying I would not question it. Like I said everyone is programed with a communication tool that God can speak to all of us. What I am trying to say is that if you do not feed and water the Holy Spirit, conscience or feeling then it will not grow. So if you do not attend church or if you have not read scriptures in a long time I challenge you to do so.

Doing these things will not hurt you. As a matter of fact, reading scripture could take only a few minutes to do. Attending church never hurt anyone. When my wife and I were married I had two friends that were Wiccan and they came to our church for the wedding. They thought God was going to zap them with a lightning bolt but He didn’t. If you do not know what to read you can do a Google search asking what to read in the Bible and you will have access to a lot of things to read. If you do not have a Bible you can access the Bible with a wide variety of translations to read also doing a Google search to find pages to read the Bible on. You can even use your smart phone to download free Bible apps.

So try this a few times and contact me to let me know how your experience went. If you still need help finding what to read feel free to contact me on social media. I love to interact with people! Also if you act on what the spirit leads you to I would love to hear the outcome. Both the good and the bad.

 

Church of Faith

Growing up all I knew was that God was real and Jesus was His son. Everything else didn’t matter. Maybe it was because I didn’t know any better. Sometimes I wish I could go back to that child-like faith. Everything was so much easier to understand. It was there that there was no second guessing who God was or how to worship Him. Now that I have chosen to worship at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints it seems like I have turned my back on God and everything I have believed in. This is not the case but try telling this to a few of my strong Christian friends.

Why does it matter what church I go to? I believe in Jesus Christ. My views on God have not changed just because I go to another church. Sure the LDS church may have some crazy thoughts and rules but do you know some of the cool things they do? They walk the walk where most churches only talk the talk. They help their members with things like food and making sure people have what they need to survive. When we moved from Klamath Falls to Charlotte we only had what would fit in our Jeep Grand Cherokee. The church asked if we needed anything and we gave them a small list and they provided everything and then some.

Life, Love and Stevo

Growing up I always thought I would be that Christian that would do all of the right things. I promised myself I would not have sex until I was married, I would never drink or smoke and if I had gotten someone pregnant I would never leave them. Well to be honest I have broken all but one of those promises. I mean I have smoked one time and that was a cigar on my wedding day when I married Andrea. I mean it was like two puffs and I was done. That is neither here or there. I am about to get deep into my life testimony. Much of it is written to help young people but anyone can gain from this chapter. So I am going to take you down my spiritual journey starting from my high school days.

I was born and raised as a Christian in Yukon, Oklahoma. I was a Christian all of my life. Growing up I was raised by my mom, my Aunt Connie and my grandmother. Growing up I really didn’t know my dad until my junior year in high school. I had a few friends but the friends I had were very close to me. Out of all of them to this day only one is still my best friend and he has a chapter in this book dedicated to his rants. He was there for me through so much in my life. So when I speak of Jason in this chapter you will know who he is.

My senior year my teacher asked the class to write down what they wanted to do after high school. Many most of them wrote the normal answer which was to attend a college of some sort. I only had one dream and that was to be a DJ at the local radio station in Oklahoma City which was KOKF 91FM. Around the same time, Jason invited me to attend youth group on Wednesday nights at Oneighty Youth at what was then Yukon First Assembly of God. My mom and I stopped going to school when I was in elementary due to some stupid power struggles with the elders of the church changing the locks on the door so the pastor could not get in.

You see that church wanted the pastor to only preach what they wanted him to. Pastors should have the right to preach on whatever topic the spirit speaks. So I really didn’t want to go to church but Jason really made an impact in my life during that time. I am sure he doesn’t even know that because he always thanks me for being the spiritual influence in his life.  Sorry for the bunny trail and now back to the subject of Oneighty Youth.

The first service I went to was amazing. I walked into the building where my ministry was going to start but I didn’t know that at the time. There I got to know the associate youth pastor which was a musician and worked concerts on the side. There I learned how to run the sound board and how to be a servant. Because of this youth pastor I was able to work various Christian concerts and connected with local artists and got to know people in the business.

Right before I graduated high school I went to a volunteer staff interview for KOKF 91Fm. Long story short I was picked to be the new temp there. I was stoked. There I did a lot of office work and assisted the radio DJs and eventually learned how to run the board. I will never forget the first time I spoke on air. All I was doing was giving snow closings for local schools. As soon as I hit the on air vocal channel on the board my adrenaline rushed like it never had before. I gave the opening call letters and then gave the school closings. Then I signed off and played more music. As soon as I turned off the vocal channel I fell to my knees because they were shaking so much. The program director said I did a great job and we both laughed.

About a year later I was given a chance of a lifetime. I was given my own radio show. My first night was on my birthday which is October 9^th. I remember it because the band Bride came to town and I was able to go see them for free since I worked for the radio station.  That was one of the coolest perks about the job was going to almost any Christian show for free and sometimes even getting back stage access which most of the time meant hanging with the artists. This was not the most important part of being a DJ at a Christian radio station. The best experience I have ever had in ministry was being a DJ overnights because I was able to talk to the people that were dealing with issues. I was able to pray with people and help them to make positive decisions. Sometimes just talking to people makes them feel better about whatever they are going through.

Then my dream started to fall apart. I started to feel that God was going to use me in a whole new way. I had always heard people talk about how a person that became a Christian could remember the time they gave themselves to God and accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord.  I got to thinking that I had never really had that experience. My spirit was strong like it knew something was about to change. Well a week later I was let go from the radio station due to some spiritual issues and lack of communication. When the station hired a new program manager they did not tell me things were going to change.

I had two great guys that had their own ministry on my show every Monday night. We would talk about events and they would pray for people in the studio. Well no one told me I could not have them on my show without permission. This was news to me. So somewhere in the mix of shows one of them said something out of place about TBN and some people heard this and reported it. So I was suspended for a week and then was let go from the station. I was told that I was rebelling against God and the radio station through my actions. I was only 21 at the time so all of this really hit me like a ton of bricks.

This is where my testimony starts to go south. I hope and pray that young people will learn from what I have gone through. I went looking for something to fill the void of not being there. I know now that I had taken it lightly and was acting big headed even when I thought otherwise. Jason was living with me at the time and he tried to help me through it but I would not let him. I went looking for women online. I had dated a few then I learned why the Bible says do not be unequally yoked. I started dating someone that was not a Christian thinking I could change her thoughts on God. How could I when I was a mess? Yeah I failed at that because I was doing all the work and no room for God.

At that time I really thought I loved this girl. Her friend told me that she would only stay with me if I had sex with her. I had a battle with myself debating if I should or should not have sex with her. I tried to play the gentlemen and I did not have sex with her the first few times we spent the night.  It worked at first and she seemed stoked that I didn’t force it. I talked to Jason about it a few times and he tried to warn me not to. I did it anyway. Then with her I started drinking. She didn’t drink beer much and she loved Sweet Apple Pucker. It was good when mixed with Mountain Dew which Dew is my favorite drink.

Then a few months later we found out we were having a baby. Oh my God what had I done? I was not married and I was going to be a father. I didn’t know what my mother would think. She was so excited. After our son was born we started having a lot of issues which lead to fights that became so heated that she would start to hit me because she was so upset. We came to a point where I lost my Job and went back home to tell her and we had the fight to end all fights. So I left and told here good bye. I went back to visit my son a few times after that.

I wish I could tell you that this was where I decided come running back to God and live for Him and all that jazz. Nope. I thought dating a Baptist preacher’s kid would solve all my issues. We started out great. We went to her dad’s church a few times and she went to a few churches I was a part of too. Then we found out we were having a baby. We both were shocked. I told my mom and she was once again excited. When she found out it was a girl I had never seen my mother so happy. So we decided to get married. Then a few months before my daughter CheyAnna was born my life basically came to an end.

My mom had been in and out of the hospital for a few years. Every time she had a health issue she attacked it full force. Well I was working at a 7 11 at the time and It was almost time for me to get off. My wife and uncle at the time came to the store and told me I needed to leave right then. So I did and we rushed to the hospital. My mother was on life support and it came to the point where it was no longer doing its job. The time had come to make a decision to keep her on it or let her go.

We called family and close friends to come to the hospital. Once they were all there. We were all in the same room. The doctor spoke to all of us and told us what had been going on. He said it was time to make the decision. My Aunt and dad both knew what my mom wanted to do. So we decided to take her off the life support. I will never forget that moment in that room. It felt like the end of the world. Everything went to black. After the doctor said she was gone and he left I just fell on top of my mother and began to cry like I had never cried before. The room was pitch black and I felt countless hands on my back and I could hear crying all over the room.

Life from that point has been like living in another life. Everything feels and tastes different. It is like you have a new life yet you can remember the memories of your past life. Well after dealing with the loss of my mother a year later we had a still born baby. After dealing with that grief and the loss of both of them I had become a dull and numb person. I didn’t care much about life to the point where we broke off our marriage. We separated and I moved in with a friend. I saw my daughter when I could because her and her mother moved 3 hours away.

I want to say that I mean no disrespect to the ladies that I have spoken of thus far. I have not mentioned their names out of respect. It takes two to tango and I was just as much at fault as they were. Things just did not work out. Now we get to 2006 where I start talking to Andrea.  I met her on an AOL music chat line a few months before my ex-wife and I parted ways.  Then she found me on Myspace once I had moved in with my friend Nick. We talked and a few months later I took a vacation to fly to Portland, Oregon to meet Andrea. Well we got to talking and a month later I moved out there to start a new life. I needed to get away. I needed a chance to restart my life.

 Since I moved to Oregon I have learned a lot about people, music and myself. I have become a people person and very down to earth. I have broken my shyness and have way more self-esteem.  Andrea and I have been together since 2006 and we have been married since 2009. We have been though a lot of trials and tribulations but we have overcome them all. Since 2011 we have been members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The experience of becoming a convert will be documented in various chapters to come. Thanks you for taking the time to read my spiritual journey thus far. I hope that you will learn things from what I have done. Never take God for granted if you believe in Him.

Having sex with someone is not a good way to keep them in your life. If that is the reason then you need to find more reasons or another person to date. Drinking is also something you should not do a lot of. If you are going to drink please be alert about how many you have. I have been drunk one time and I cannot understand how people can get drunk and then feel that they can do anything let alone drive a car. Be aware of what the spirit tells you. If it does not feel right then chances are it is not.

Rants of Cypie Chapter 2

In a picture posted on Facebook imagine a cluster of four pictures. Three of them are a picture of Jesus from the movie “The Passion of the Christ” that say “Like” and there is one picture that has a demon that says “Ignore”. The concept of this is to get people to like the picture to get exposer for their site but also to get people to think about life after death. If you like Jesus then you go to Heaven but if you ignore it you will go to Hell. Here is where the Rant of Cypie starts.

 

Can anyone tell me how this makes sense? This kind of post is just ridiculous. According to the question it posts and the choices it gives you, if you don’t respond…, then you’re going to hell. Where in the bible does it say that I have to like a post on facebook to go to heaven? “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but by me.” I am all for using facebook as a means to spread the message, but come on. Why make people feel like they have to do something this ridiculous in order to be with Jesus. “The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ.” Anyone catch that? “The GIFT,” that’s it. You do not have to do anything but accept the gift. This post would be all well and good if it didn’t make it seem like you were going to hell for not responding. This is just my opinion I guess. Anyone else have any thoughts on this one?

Rants of Cypie Chapter 1

Here is a little something to make nearly every person I know freak out. “You shall have NO other gods before me.” I can tell you right now that if I were to throw a bible across the room or slam it on the ground and stomp on it, every one …of you would flip out and immediately think “blasphemy.” Sadly, the opposite is true. The Bible, while a major source of information about our God, is still just a book.

 

I have heard a question asked by several people: of you could only have one, which would you choose; the Bible or prayer? I have heard many people respond with “the Bible.” For those that choose this, answer me this one question: can the Bible save you? True, the same can be asked about prayer, but the difference between the two is that prayer is a direct link to God. And any time you talk to God it is through prayer. So while prayer itself does not save you, it does allow you to talk to God and to Jesus, who died to save you.

 

The point of this is that the Bible can be a god just as much as anything else can be. If you cry blasphemy over something happening to a bible, you are making that book a god. Period. There is nothing wrong with valuing the Bible above other books. I realized how the Bible can be a good the day I came home from a friend’s to find that my daughter had torn several pages out of my bible. I became quite angry and flipped out myself. Then, it hit me. It is a book, the good book, but a book none the less.

 

Loving an inanimate object is preposterous. God is the one that deserves love. Living things deserve love. Loving a bible is no different than loving a chair or dirt or a computer desk. It is time for Christians to stop following blind doctrine and use their heads. Read the Bible, I know, backwards after this post, but it tells you God’s laws and how to be a true Christian. But remember, it is still just a book.

Join the All Star Team of Doom Today!

What is the big deal anyway? I believe Mormons and Christians are on the same team.  When you look at both of these groups they have a lot in common. Both of them care about humanity and minister to people. Both believe in God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost. Both believe in free will or free agency.  Don’t get lost in the terminologies because in the end it is the same being. Most of all both churches preach Christ crucified. So in these last days why can’t Christians and Mormons get along? We play the same sport and even in the same league. If we were to come together and create the All Star team of Doom we could reach people for Christ in a more powerful way.

Mormons should not get upset at Christians for trying to convert them. All they are doing is what they know best. Denominations have had this ongoing battle of which church is the right one for a long time now.  Joseph Smith even had this problem which is why he prayed so hard for the answers. The TD Jakes and Billy Grahams of his time were going around telling people their church was right and all others were wrong. This has been a battle that the Devil has been winning for ages. All he wants is for us to fail and become like him. All he cares about is taking God’s children away from Him because he made a decision to be a punk and wants people to hang with him for eternity.

Now am I saying that Mormons and Christians should drop all their doctrines and find a new way of life? No I am not because to each their own. Why do I say that? Well every single one of us has our own story on how we came to the loving arms of Jesus and our understanding of God. It’s like the Gospel accounts in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Each book has its similarities and differences.  Just view each book as different sides to the story just like different witnesses of a car wreck. I believe nobody should ever forget their upbringing when it comes to their faith in God and Jesus. Some people over the years come to different conclusions of their faith and others embrace what they know and rock with that they got.

Like Professor Horace Slughorn from Harry Potter says, “These are mad times we live in” so why in the bloody hell are we fighting each other? Stop this madness and let’s reach out to people and talk to them about Jesus and tell them that people love them.  I hope we all can just love on people and be real with them. Non-believers see how we act. If we are fighting amongst one another no wonder they don’t want anything to do with Jesus. We are the light of the world for God so we should be shining bright and not doing dub step light flickering.

 See this is the beauty of writing this book. I do not claim to be under a church to where I have to word how I write subject matter according to a list of guidelines. . I can say how I feel and if you don’t like it you can stop reading at any time. Even though I am a Christian and I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I do not label myself and Mormon or Christian in the sense of defining my religion. I am a follower of Jesus Christ and I believe in God. 

Now that you know where I strand I will leave chapter with this thought. There are so many views on God. Jesus says I am the way, the truth and the life and nobody gets to the Father but through me. Any faith that claims the Bible is a guild line for their faith should believe this statement and unite. If we cannot unite and be that All Star Team of Doom then maybe we need to find a new sport.

About Brother Stevo

I was born and raised in Yukon, Oklahoma. I moved from Oklahoma City to Portland, Oregon in 2006 where I later moved to Klamath Falls, Oregon. I lived there until the fall of 2013. I currently reside in Charlotte, North Carolina.  I am married and have two awesome kids. I love music, sports, and playing videogames when I am not blogging, reading and researching. I am attending school online at Full Sail University and working on my BS Degree in Sports Marketing and Public Relations.

I am a Christian of the Mormon Faith. If you think what I just said is an oxymoron then you should read my blogs and listen to my POD casts. I also welcome anyone to do the same no matter what you believe. Just to make it clear. My mission is NOT to convert you into the LDS church. My mission is to reach people and give them a chance to think about what they believe. It is up to the individual to make the personal decision what they believe and how and where they worship.  

I have been a Christian all of my life but since 2006 I have been searching for God and trying to obtain all He has for me. Since 2011 I have been a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I want to share my experiences with anyone who will listen. I have seen a lot of things and I want to reach out to people and be real with them. Why? All it takes is for one person to step out of the shadows and say I love you just as you are! Need someone to talk to? I am here to listen. Oh and for the love of God do not judge them. They get enough of that from “Christians” as it is.

 I leave you with lyrics from the Brian HEAD Welch song “Die Religion Die” which is “Go into the World and Destroy Hell. You Have the Authority. Use It for the Kill”. These lyrics by HEAD speak a lot about how God wants us to live. We do have the authority to go for the kill as they say. We have the power to kill the negativity all around us. It takes boldness to be the light of the world. Let’s take our authority and storm the gates of HELL!

 

Peace!
