Spirituality on the Internet

There have been some lively discussions at our house regarding religion and spirituality. We each have our own beliefs about that. Some of us believe that you can’t be spiritual without being religious, and others of us believe that you CAN be spiritual without being religious. I guess the definition of “spiritual” and “religious” are something we just don’t agree on, which is part of the problem here. Some of us claim to be spiritual but don’t want to go to an organized church, citing corruption and violations of trust.

You Want To Do What and Where?

My sister-in-law told me that just the thought of the Muslim community even thinking about building a brand new Mosque any where near “Ground Zero” in New York City makes her stomach start to scream for the injustice of the whole idea. She’s very upset to think that there is a strong possibility of this plan going through.

I, on the other hand, realize that the Muslim community has no control over the extremists who planned and carried out the terrorist attacks. I wish people would just get over this racist hatred.

Can I Get An Amen?

I’m not all that much into Gospel music, but there is this one song that I heard back about 15 years ago that I really got into and I haven’t heard it since then. I was on YouTube.com last night and actually remembered the name of the song and found the video there, it was so cool to hear it after so many years. It’s called “Stomp” and it’s done by Kirk Franklin, enjoy……

Saint Patrick’s Day

Next Wednesday, which is March 17th is Saint Patrick’s Day. I remember back in school, it was a real big deal to make sure that you wore green, cause if you didn’t you were sure to get pinched all day long and that was a drag. Wish that they had hats like this one back in the day, that would have been cool.

Bad weather for Christmas

My wife and I were hoping to go to the 7pm candlelight Christmas Eve church service tonight at the church down the road a bit. Although it had rained today, the weather was rather warm and we didn’t think that the roads were going to freeze during the service, so we got gussied up and headed out. When we got to church, about 6:45 we were disappointed to see that the parking lot was empty, and the church was dark. The parking lot was still full of snow from last weekend’s storm! I don’t know why the lot had not been plowed.

Needless to say, we were disappointed that there was no service. This area sure does shut down a lot more than the New England state we used to live in!
