Went to confession on Thanksgiving....Went to Mass yesterday...It was a Childrens Mass....Was cool never been to one before....Somehow manged to stay out of mortal sin since Confession and took Communion....

 

 

MAy the love of Christ consume you brother...

 

Keep bangin the mortal sins in tha confessional bruz with honesty and a sincere heart for salvation and the hope of heaven perhaps with a dash of sorrow but definately not despair, however long it takes to be removed completely from your system.  :)

 

Onward Christian souls.

 

Jesus is LORD.

Mass was good...Happy to have been there...God has really been making His presence known to me lately...Not stuff that would have me wondering if its just my head messing with me but stuff I can see with my own eyes....This happened about 10 years ago as well....What happened then was more significant and held more weight in me knowing God is real then what is happening now....Although what has been happening lately is pretty cool too...You know with the experiences I have had it really comes down to three possibilities....1.) Atheist scientist are right and "the god idea" is part of evolution and something we came to believe in to cope and what not 2.) Somehow the universe has some sort of conscience and can communicate with us and science can not yet explain how this works 3.) God exist and is part of our lives and the spirtual experiences people have are legit........I can rule out #1 because the stuff that has happened in my life hasn't been all in my head....It has been stuff I have seen and experienced that has actually happened....So more then me just hearing a voice in my head or feeling a certain way......I can't rule out # 2 for certain although if the universe is conscience and can make contact with us then this would seem to almost imply there is a higher power at work....Although I guess one could say it wouldn't be for certain...#3 for me is what I am sure of...There is a God and He is in contact with us and loves us and although we don't always understasnd Him He is there and He loves us...And after this life we will meet Him....

Just saying Josh, reading a bit of this thread has really humbled and inspired me. You are doing so well, and even if you don't feel it all the time, you seriously are so admirable for keeping on doing this, keeping honestly accountable and getting back up every time. That's what getting to heaven is about... not so much being perfect as to keep trying. Good ON you!!! :)

Thanks for that Souljah....Mass was good yesterday...Glad. to be there...Although haven't took Communion in forever...Need to go to Confession....

 

Ahhh bro, confession is just something you gotta. do. asap. I know with myself, the more I put it off, the more I would fall, and the more I would make excuses not to go. 'Oh, what does another week matter? it's already been five...(or however many)' I'd tell myself. You just have to do it. Just set a time, and commit to it. Speaking of which, I need to go too. I'll make a serious effort to go this Saturday... wanna do it with me?

How about we work on putting together a Phlashmob and just innundate our confessors in a show of psolidarity for Josh????

What I was trying to suggest, giggle, was that we could join you in rushing off to confession.....mob the confessional lines!  A show of solidarity for you.... and good and grace-filled for ALL Of us!!!!

 

Had hoped to do that myself this week but can't make the logistics work for me this week.  Those of you with cars really should be grateful for the gift of God that those are!  the rest of us have to go to Mass and/or confession when we can get the cars & busses to take us... and sometimes the times we can get to Churh doesn't line up with the times for the confessional lines.

 

Glad you are going to Mass... and glad you are finding it a good experience!  Just came home from there myself, and prayed for you and all of us!!!!

Made it to Confession this morning...It was tough to go...God had to drag me there...I I kept repeating I don't want to go...I was ashamed and felt a lot of guilt...I have felt that way before but this time it was bad....When I got into Confession in the pitch black box I told the Priest I don't want to be here and this is difficult for me to spit out...He told me to hurry up lol Anyhow I made it through it and was glad I went when it was over....Me being sinner I am I need to go back tommorow...Thank God I'm saved by what He did for me and not my own actions or I wouldn't stand a chanch....

I wonder if you have any idea what a powerful witness your two threads have become....   Thank you.

 

Keep on doing what you are doing... and the rest of us sinners (and yup we are...) will follow in your footsteps.  

 

Pray for me as I do for you....
