Learning to Allow Jesus Christ to Live His Life Through Me so that I can Enjoy, in this life, those things that are meaningless in the next.

Over the years I have listened to Talk Radio. The evil ones on the radio. I remember listening to Rush back when he first came on the air. Why I would waste my time is beyond me. These days I listen basically to the local guys. Just another set of wind bags. So I have decided to try an experiment. I am going to give up listening to talk radio and talk TV, you know crap like Morning Joe on MSNBC. Why does everything have to be so confrontational these days is beyond my way of thinking. Even my minister teaches that way. Winds bags all around these days. I will keep you posted if I can achieve inner peace of mind from disavowing myself from talk radio and talk TV.

I don't think I have ever written it before but I think Sean Hannity is a perfect example of what Jesus had to deal with when we confronted the Pharisees.

Have you ever weight so much that you no longer weight yourself? I walk through life with this melancholy attitude toward everything. I have decided that it is time to lose the weight. I have decided that it is not a run to be thin but a journey to be healthy (borrowed from someone). I know for me that if I stay away from sweets and refined carbs the weight will come off. I weigh close to 400 pounds. It is insanity that this has happened. I should weigh about 200. Every so often I question what I am doing. I have belonged to this little bible study group for about 16 years. I no longer feel it is interesting and I fear the leader is getting a cult like mentality. It is now us against the world. God is going to judge the world but we will be fine. That is a dangerous thought pattern for a leader to have.

I am looking forward to the future as I take one day at a time to lose this weight. Also, taking one day at a time with my....

I have found an issue that American Christianity does not want to deal with, Pornography. I have struggled with it for over 30 years. I once was part of a group but it died. I feel there is no beliver in my life I can discuss this issue with in my life. Why? If this problem effects 50% of Christian men and 20-30% of Christian women and 50% of pastors then should not this be the number one issue being dealt with within the church. All politics and theology should be set aside to discuss this one issue. As long as the American church refuses to deal with pornography and other sexual issues it will continue to decline. I need help as do millions of others in this area.

Why is this being ignored?????
