In our lives, there are so many sources of noise and confusion. My motive for having this blog is to provide a source of quiet for your mind and more importantly, for your soul. I want every post to be wrapped in calm assurance in God's love.

J.M.J.
This video is excellent for those of you who are discerning about what you watch in theatres. May God guide you to the right choice for you and yours!
What's my biggest fear? Well, aside from spiders, I guess I'm afraid of not accomplishing what I'm meant to do with my life. I'm afraid of running out of time to do my life's work, whatever that is. I mean, I want to get married and have a family, but to do that, you have to have a husband. I don't know about you, but I've noticed that to get a husband, you have to get married. And before that, you have to do all kinds of things like find the right guy (or let him find you), become friends with him, date him, fall in love with him, become engaged, plan the wedding, and then shell over all kinds of money for the huge event. Whew! Then comes the next phase (not speaking from experience here). You settle into your new life together, try to get along, work out the problems, and then you start having children. You have to get used to your new bundles of joy, and work out the issues there too.
+ J.M.J. I'm finally getting to this topic, but I honestly have no idea where to begin. For most of my life, the Holy Spirit, for me, was an abstract Being Whom I had almost no personal relationship with. I knew that He was the third Person of the Blessed Trinity and came down upon me during the Sacrament of Confirmation, but I didn't pray to Him almost ever. I mean, in pictures, He looked like a Dove. A Bird of some kind. How was I supposed to pray to a Winged Creature without feeling foolish? That was my logic, I guess, as subconscious as it was. I didn't really grow up with the charismatic movement. So when I went to a Holy Spirit healing retreat a couple of months ago, I was not prepared at all for what was to come. I won't share a lot about that retreat on this blog. If you want to know, you can ask me personally. Suffice it to say that I got to know that the Holy Spirit was definitely very real. I believed in Him before the retreat, but I was ...
Yesterday I was shopping and I was noticing that there were a great abundance of products that had celebrities' pictures on them. This is nothing new. But it struck me with new force that their only intent is to get us, the consumers, to buy what the celebrity's face is on. Why is their face on it? Their name? Do they actually use it? Do they know if it's a good product? Or is it just to get us to put it in our cart? I think that the latter is true. Why should I buy something just because a celebrity's name and face is on it? Do you realize that those pictures have been edited? Nobody actually looks that perfect, and you won't either, just because you use that particular product. Nobody is going to look like them, because no one is computer-edited and generated in real life. I realize that I am asking a lot of questions here, but maybe you should consider doing that when you shop. Ask questions. Why do you want to buy this? Is it really all that it says it is? I...
