Balthazor Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 I am going to bump this thread..... But if anyone wonders why there are 8 pages of posts on the Jeans in Church thread and only a few here so far let me say this to you. It is not because we are shallow, or judgemental or beause we care about only the trivial material things in life. It is far easier to talk about the trivial things in life that do not really matter, the weather, your car, the clothes you wear and movies you like, than it is to open your heart to a lot of other people and risk getting hurt. Our relationships with God are very special to us and many of us are not going to post here because they are so private and so precious that we feel they need to be protected. I feel the need to keep mine private and protected too. Myinnermost heart is a sanctuary, a temple for the Spirit, and I do not let any one in randomly except those who I know I can trust, lest they profane my temple. God Bless, Balthazor But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.

shelly_freak Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 It's more of just thinking on my way there. I know I should do more but it's hard to find time which sounds terrible because I should always have time for Jesus but that's the truth. I'll have to work on more reflection before mass so I get more out of it. The worst is when I have to work sunday so it's even harder to find time to think AND go to mass, if only we had a 5 oclock mass every sunday (youth mass this week).

The only thing that went right some of those mornings is we made it to Mass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
