Good for Palin!

Good for Sarah Palin and her supporters(me included). Letterman put his foot in that big mouth of his. I used to watch his show all the time and he was very funny. But now he is showing his true colors as a mean spirited liberal. I pray he finds some peace.

Prayer Pays Off!

I thought this was interesting. I found this regarding power of prayer and faith;

Traditional religious beliefs have a variety of effects on personal health, says Koenig, senior author of the Handbook of Religion and Health, a new release that documents nearly 1,200 studies done on the effects of prayer on health.

These studies show that religious people tend to live healthier lives. "They're less likely to smoke, to drink, to drink and drive," he says. In fact, people who pray tend to get sick less often, as separate studies conducted at Duke, Dartmouth, and Yale universities show. Some statistics from these studies:

• Hospitalized people who never attended church have an average stay of three times longer than people who attended regularly.

• Heart patients were 14 times more likely to die following surgery if they did not participate in a religion.

• Elderly people who never or rarely attended church had a stroke rate double that of people who attended regularly.

• In Israel, religious people had a 40% lower death rate from cardiovascular disease and cancer.

God Help us.!

Keeping it Real

I am a conservative from a Democratic family. So you can imagine the arguments.

1. When we discuss abortion stances, they say Pro-choice is a woman's right. That is where their argument ends. Look it takes two people to create a child. I feel a man should have input but let's say we waive that right for arguments sake. Why does the child have no rights. Anyone reading this wasn't aborted. It's murder plain and simple. We can hide behind womens' rights,Planned Parenthood and abortion clinics but when push comes to shove there was a life and after an abortion there isn't. If a child is an inconvenience then they should be given up for adoption. Families who can't have children of their own are always waiting a long time for a chance to adopt.

2. Same sex marriage. Look Hollywood makes homosexuality look fun and normal but it isn't. It is an unhealthy lifestyle.70% of partners in a same sex relationship are more likely to have affairs than heterosexuals according to a study. Also it is scientifically impossible for 2 homosexuals to procreate. I am against it not only for natural reasons but also for Biblical reasons as backed by some scripture;

a. Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.'
b. Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
c. Corinthians 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Now the argument is that Christianity is out of touch with modern society. I guess Sodom may have been playing that fiddle too. The Bible has been around for a long long time and has not changed. Empires come and go but the Word of God is constant.

3. There is the argument that if we are good we can get to Heaven. That could not be further from the truth. You can't buy your way into Heaven. You can't be nice enough, smart enough,dumb enough,do enough...The only way to get into Heaven is through belief in Jesus;

"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6)

I didn't make this up. It is in the New Testament plain as day. It doesn't say come to the father by going near me or around me...only through me.

Thats all for now. I think that is enough. Thanks to those who take the time to read this blog.

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! This is my first one and I am just getting it off the ground. The reason I created it was to share my testimony on what brought me to Christ.

As a kid and through my early twenties I was raised Catholic in a N. Boston suburb. I was bored out of my mind mass after mass. All I knew about Jesus and the Catholic was Christmas, Easter and guilt.Also where the hot girls sat. I got nothing out of it. I used to time the masses and put and over under on them. I would park in a front spot so I could get out quickly. Over time I missed 2 masses in a row then 3 and then it was like screw it. I didn't care anymore. If people asked I would say I was Catholic and that was the depth to my spirituality.Of course this came back to bite me later. When I hit a rough spell in my late teens I had a drug overdose,fought with my parents,siblings,friends and had no where to turn. When I was 24 I had had enough I decided I needed a huge change. I tried praying(really praying) a few night before for a sign on how to get my life on track. I had dropped out of college and was working a crappy job. My journey took me to Texas. Keep in mind I had never been to Texas and had no job or school to go to there. I went to Texas and worked crappy jobs to start, and started attending a Baptist Church. It was weird as my spiritual life improved and I had a growing desire to know Jesus better my career prospects improved. I was able to go back and get a degree, buy a house, make great money and know Jesus more and more. It was not all that hard either. I start reading the Bible and listened to the sermons from the Pastor. I never read the Bible when I was going to a Catholic Church. I prayed for others instead for myself, I started donating money to the Church, met a wonderful Christian woman and got married. Things were and still are rocking. I have a peace I never felt before. I made amends with my family and make it a point to read the Bible or listen to a sermon(IPOD) every day. I know to some this may sound like a bunch of crap but Jesus saves. Really he does. I didn't just read the Bible and see a dove in the air and say "Holy ^&" I'm saved! I did research about the credibility of Jesus' claims. The witnesses testimony. I grilled the writings and the evidence. I read about what the differences are between religions. I turned over every stone I could because I sure as hell wasn't going to be a brainwashed zombie. At the end of all the research I came to the conclusion that Jesus was born and died on the cross for us. No other religion can boast a claim that their God overcame death nor has the facts to back it up. If I could pass on one tid bit from my testimony it would be that going to Church is nice but read the Bible and learn truth for yourself. God Bless!
