Praise God...You won't feel the need to 'win' another verbal exchange with anyone ever! :)

One of life's paradoxes is that in order to change an unwanted situation, we must first accept it the way it is. If you wish to move forward in your life, first make peace with what you are presently experiencing.Today, I will be receptive to Gods will.God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, The courage to change the things I can, And the wisdom to know the difference.

[2] Mother Teresa had turned her life and will over to God, and her work was what she believed to be God's will for her. Because of this, she was devoted to the task itself, not to the completion of it. We too can learn to be receptive to a higher purpose. We can direct our energies into causes we believe in, even if we know the job will never be finished. We can visit with friends and family and not try to win a verbal exchange. We can accept the will of God and thereby find serenity.

[1] A reporter once asked Mother Teresa how she could bear to go on working at such a hopeless task day after day and year after year. The people she cared for were so wretchedly poor. Many of them, very sick. How could she continue with such dedication, knowing that all the poverty and sickness would still be there long after she had died? Didn't she realize she couldn't win? Her explanation was simple: Of course she knew the task was immense, but "finishing" wasn't her purpose.

Hammerslley1967: Initially, 5 months ago, you chose foul mouth name-calling. Why? What prompted it? A path to destruction I'd have to guess. Now, in your defensive (?) reply you talk about good path & bad path. If you claim to have taken the right path why the wrong turn?

Do you hate Steve Earle? We were not in any way in a spiritual conversation & you said no appology for being ugly by the name calling to Steve Earle. I pray you make better choices as if you have the indwelling of the holy spirit!
Hammersley1967 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
There are two paths we may take, one up and one down. We have been given free will to choose either path. We are captains of our souls to this extent. If we choose the wrong path, we go down, eventually to death. But if we choose the right path, we go up and up, until we come to eternal happiness. On the wrong path, we have no power for good because we do not choose to ask for it. But on the right path, we are on the side of good. We have all the power of God's spirit with us.

Hammersley1967: Are you remotely interested in music, more specifically Steve Earle's?Also, may I ask why you would make such an ugly comment? As I listen to this interview, I hear Steve being totally honest in what he's experienced through life & his music. |
