Well I just thought I would stop by and 'fess up!
I quit cocaine and pot some 18 years ago and for some reason it was easy. When I consider how much coke I used to ingest I find it hard to understand it. I used to work in a bar where my boss was selling it. I would count out my pay every week...
Ezzedean, I tend to agree with you regarding western society. We have gotten so very wrapped up in the world that we have forgotten family, and God's ways.
It is all about self gratification in this life. We see kids killing each other over tiny little things and words that are so very...
An educated woman would convert to Islam because the basic premises of Islam are the same as those in Christianity, Bhudism, Hinduism and the Jewish beliefs, to mention a few.

Glad to have you here. " Knock and the door will be opened, seek and ye shall find".
I am a catholic christian who believes that God is very real, alive, and hears us. There is no doubt in my mind, at the moment. Does this mean that I have all the answers? Emphatically, No!

Just a little note..... You were the one who stated that you were a devout catholic, therefore I addressed you as a devout catholic! My point is this, when a soul reaches out for direction and claims a certain bent in it's thinking, then one would only assume that it is calling for those who...
Moonchild, welcome. God I love this place! I am sure you will too. I agree with all of the above responses. They will not steer you in the wrong direction. Take your time, there is no need to hurry to find your path. If you get overwhelmed with info, just step back for a day or so to regroup...
Take the quotes from wence they come.....young students perhaps seeking the shock value, perhaps testing authority, perhaps looking for some sort of recognition.

Beloved of God, this was a truly insightful post. Thank you. I can truly say without reservation that I am at # 7. I might not have vocalized this until I read this post.
