I Was Stabbed By Satan

‘It is said that Satan stabs a child at birth as an introduction to pain, you know, welcome to the world, right?’
K’Naan

Why do I think so much about fear and pain?
It’s like a darkness that is slowly creeping into the depths of my life.
It intrigues me…attracts me…becomes me.

I have come to see pain as a part of my life, just as love is a part of my life.
I have come to see fear as a part of my life, just as hope is a part of my life.

The content of this blog is slowly being narrowed down to one or the other. I’m struggling to write about anything else, to even concentrate on anything else.

I’m sorry if it’s becoming boring and repetitive.

I was stabbed by Satan…definite…I know I was.
So were you…definite…I know you were.

Perhaps phrasing it as ‘I was stabbed by Satan’ is a little scary…

 

Still scared…I thought not! :)

Satan is nothing more than the side effect of freedom.
If it wasn’t Adam and Eve, it would have been you and me!

Evaluating Life…

Reading all these facts and adding up all these deaths I was left with a couple of questions.

Do we value life enough for what it is? With all this simple death…probably not! Where is our respect for our greatest God given gift.
OR
Do we value life too much? With all this simple death…probably! If death is so simple and frequent why value or lives so highly…it could so easily be us next! Perhaps even, by not valuing our lives so much we can free ourselves to do what we really want.

2010…A Year Of Disaster And Pain

Music of Sarah Bareilles, pictures from various Googlers!

-2010-
It’s only September!

When I put this video together I said to myself
'We're Fucked'.

But really we're not...it's just a challenge we must face together with nothing more than
hearts full of love.

‘Life Is Beautiful’

Logging onto facebook today, I saw a comment from a friend of mine.
Very simply, it read ‘Life is Beautiful’.

Is life really as beautiful as we think it is?
Is it fair that in Pakistan, 20million are suffering unimaginable pain, 24hours, 7days a week.
Ireland has a population of 4 million people…4 million people will probably die before this year is out!

’Life is beautiful’??

Pray for these people,
Hurt for these people,
Cry for these people,
Don’t be afraid to shed a tear for these people…give them all your love.

Stand by them with all your heart and soul…perhaps then life can become more beautiful for everyone.

That's My King - Dr. S.M. Lockridge

I take no credit for any part of this video.

I can’t really write anything here that would do you any good…not after that.

Dr. S.M. Lockridge has actually turned Jesus into a superhero for me…something like Batman, Spiderman, Robocop or something like that!

But this time it’s real…it’s truth.

Watch this video over and over again until the message that Jesus is King and that Jesus loves you even in the face of death, becomes engraved in your heart and mind.

A Troubled Me

Stop…just stop.
Close your eyes and then close your mind.
Now slowly start thinking, thinking about life.
Life…Life…Life…LIFE!
What the fuck is life? What is it??
What am I doing here…what is my life doing here?
What are all our lives doing here??

I’m struggling and it’s troubling me.
Slowly I feel myself being pulled towards greater inner trouble.
It’s hurting and frustrating me, like a beast fighting towards my soul.
It’s starting to feel as much a part of me as night is to day.
It’s beat slowly matching that of my hearts… a pulse of its own.
The dark side to my life…as much a mystery to me as it is to you.

Voices in my head are telling me to do something.
My heart and my soul are telling me to do something.
I’m being told to do something beautiful. Something beautiful for God.
To show love, to bring joy, to bring a smile to the faces of those most in need.

Sometimes the only answer I can see to darkness is to give whatever light I may have…to stop thinking of myself so much. The greatest times in my life have been at times of self-giving, times of forgetting myself.
I have confused my mind by saying I must do something beautiful for God. It sounds like such a weight, such a burden.
To love, to care, to be kind, to listen…to smile.
It’s all something beautiful for God.

Death...It's So Very Alive!

Do you like this picture?
I love it.
It's a dead picture yet so very alive.
It hides nothing but tells us everything.

Death may catch me by the throat and throw me to the ground.
It may take from me everything......but in a funny way..... it takes nothing at all.

We are the seeds of life...seeds of love, if you like.
Our love suffers not from famine or drought...but takes strength.

When my mind grows old and my body wears thin,
My soul will laugh at my human weakness, and cry,"Awake my soul...freedom at last"

Fear not death, for love never dies!

Satan vs God

Life is one large battle...in fact, it's a WAR.
It's a war of ENDLESS battles...one after another they line up.
Allow yourself to transcend above the battlefield to see more clearly.
To see more clearly your enemy, to see more clearly yourself.
Wait a second...to see my enemy...or to see myself??
Yes...your enemy, yourself...same thing.

" It is better to conquer yourself than to win
a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours.
It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons,
by heaven or hell."
Buddha
