Yeah, I try to be considerate of what other's may or may not want to hear (or read), but on the same token, I agree with you. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
I really hope I wasn't making it sound as if pagans worship satan. LOL! That would make you a Satanist not a pagan! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif My view of paganism is that of an atheist or agnostic; no belief in anything specific or concrete. That's a bit broad but you get the general idea. I was as close to a "pagan" as a Christian, that a Christian could get. I grew up in the church, but for a lot of years you couldn't really tell it. You couldn't tell a difference between me and any other "sinner". I was going to church, tithing, reading my Bible, doing charitible things and all that other religious stuff, but that's all it really was; a religious routine. I had the ignorant notion that if I did all these things some how it'd make God happy and He'd let me slip into Heaven some day. Then a friend of mine helped me understand that God was a real personality and we could have a real relationship with Him. It was in fact the very reason He created us. That revolation changed my life. I started to talking to Him as if He was right there listening...and really cared what I had to say! All of sudden all the things I was doing out of obligation and tradition became a joy and a source of life. I tried changing myself but I kept getting in my own way, now it was a desire getting to know God put in my heart. All the things I've run after in my life to find fulfilment, this is the only thing that has truly, consistent.y, faithfully provided it. Some people say He's a crutch for the weak, but my relationship has helped me to be the Father I wanted deep inside to be, the Husband, the worker, the citizen, etc. He has made the difference, that's all I can say. There's a lot of things we can lean on in times of trouble, but Jesus is the only one who's been able to last through the toughest stuff. He's more then God to me, he's my best friend, my brother and (this is gonna sound goofy) my hero. He's just cool man! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
Anyway, I've gone on again, hehe. I can't help it, when you find something this good, that makes this much of a difference it's hard not to share it. Like finding an amp that out performs everything else for half the price. You just find yourself telling everybody!
Well, I gots ta go. I'm running late for a gig. Take care, and God bless you.
