Recap 2: What the **** is going on?

What? It's Friday already? It felt just yesterday I did a Recap 1 for last week. Is the week moving too fast or am I moving too slow? Or maybe it's my stay-at-home neighbor who shouts at her kids every morning to get dressed already for school and numbed my focus. Sound carries. Sounds scary.

This is the Post-Valentine Entry people. I've said my due, and you've said your due, and now we shall all be due together. Whatever that means. How is my English? Confusing? Screw it. 

There is no Recap 2. I was just bluffing. I am making a very random and lame post, so none of you, and I repeat, NONE of you could grasp any meaning of this at all, and make sane and sound comments out of nothing at all. Go ahead, I dare you! 

Whatever.

Have a nice weekend all of you. And I mean ALL of you, regardless of wherever you stand in your opinion of other people.

Now, Be Nice!

A thought on Faith...


... Just feeling slightly out of sorts.

I shall not make an entry about Valentine's Day because I'm sure whatever I will say, and I have a lot I would like to say, will probably offend some people. Or even if it's not offensive in its intention, some will still find something about it to make it so. The world has changed drastically overnight. Making a mountain out of a molehill, to say the least.

I kind of felt the same like the time when I read about a church was burned somewhere. I didn't take offense in that, instead I wept. Because the implication in that was unmistakable. This also brought back the dreadful feelings of tragedy looming when people started joining or inviting others to join hate groups in Facebook over small matters, a year plus ago.That alone almost made me revoke my account, but unfortunately you can only deactivate, and not delete altogether.

Faith and religion are two very different things. Godly people and religious people are two very different things. One is an institution, the other a merit of a belief. I can believe in God and not belong to any religion. I can have a religion without actually believing in God. Basic English. Basic knowledge.

You can say my religion is false or my belief is unfounded or my faith is wrong. I can say the same about yours. But we won't because we respect each other enough to give it a rest. That time will come when each will be made to defend it against the other, but that day is not here yet, but it's close. There are many faiths in this world, there are more than just the major two.

My religion is what I put down in paper forms. My faith and my belief are what I hold true when I pledge my allegiance to my God. How people show their allegiance is their responsibility and their own accountability. We will be judged accordingly someday. Using Whose measure? Not man-made, that's for sure.

I only know mine says to draw near unto Him and He will draw near unto me ... in as little as a verse that means so much deeper than that.

Do you ever wonder someday, when we die, and we all will, and when we stand before our Creator, that after all that is said and done, that we actually made the right choice?

Don't be offended. Just a thought. :-)
