Once a vampire, always a vampire. Count on it!
A little humor from someone who works for a blood bank and identifies as a vampire in jest.
I might be a weirdo and one of a few people you might know who is a person of faith or religion. One thing about me is that I don’t come across as preachy or holier than thou. Well, at least I hope I don’t. I think God is best represented that way.
Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Vigil are three important services during Holy Week. Making time for them is as important in the journey of the Lenten season as Easter itself. For me, it’s my belief that being in Church is important the other 51 weeks out of the year. The same could be said for Advent for Christmas.
The only way to grow in faith is to be in one’s spiritual community among other practices. It is by doing this that one hopefully is close to being perfected in their spiritual life.
When sharing what one thinks about stuff it’s always a risk. Saying what you need to say is a 50/50 thing, agree or disagree. It’s those moments when there is fear of offending and possibly fracturing a friendship. As a reforming people pleaser, this has been something I have dealt with. Perspective plays a big role in how you see the world and what you think.
No two people think alike and hopefully, they can come to a place where it’s OK to disagree and remain connected. Speaking up about injustice is a good thing but it doesn’t come without a price. It’s my hope that what I say is done with respect for myself as well as others.
Opinions are opinions sometimes they make sense other times it leaves people scratching their heads. I am guilty of this, a lot.
What you say can change the world including your own.
The thing about problems is that they are meant to be solved or attempted to be solved. Usually, there are other problems that follow. Solving a problem or series of them can help you accomplish great things. Sometimes resolving problems can get you home or get you to the next thing in life. Whatever your problems are I hope they get solved or become less.
It’s only been a couple of days since the Academy Awards debacle and I am already tired of hearing about it. Chris Rock shouldn’t have made jokes about Will Smith’s wife Jada and Will shouldn’t have lost his cool by slapping/hitting Chris. So, what I am trying to say is the whole thing shouldn’t have happened.
There are more important things to discuss. Although you can talk about more than one thing.
Here’s a shout-out to Bruce Willis who is now fighting a health battle in which he will need action hero strength to get through.
Everyone needs a diversion from reality. Tonight the Oscars are providing that. When I see someone dis the “Hollywood Elites” it’s really sad. Without the arts and films, the world would be a really boring place. People need to chill out and rediscover their humanity. Life is tough enough without being completely mean. Here is to more grace and peace.
