There are worse things than fear. In responce to my last post. My Voodoo teacher told us today why he wasn't in class last Thursday. There was a little family emergency to take care of with his daughter. She either just had or has to have an operation. Poor girl I said- yeah. See, he told her she wasn't looking well, and she needed to see a doctor. He told her she needed to be getting pap smears like she was supposed to. He told her she was looking like she had gained a bit of weight rather quickly. She should have listened to him before it got to be a big deal. Oh well, it's dealt with now isn't it? I feel completely sick to my stomach. Suicide. We have so few people in this world. They give off so little light. The truest and brightest shine out, loudly to the world, and the world roundly mocks them and then ignores them. I read an article last night bashing all christians for not just accepting Mother Teresa was an agnostic and leaving it at that. Of course Christians don't feel anything- there's nothing there. Yet even when they don't feel anything, there's some sad part of them that wants to hang on, against all reason. Poor Christians. Somebody really should do something to help them out of their state- you know, anything, just to wake them up a little. Open and enlighten their minds to the truth about reality. Benedict the Great is scorned by the world. Probably the holiest man on the planet, who is a philosopher and theologian far beyond almost anyone else, who is one of the most spiritually gifted men on the planet and the choice of the Holy Spirit for that office of leader- he is lightly thrown aside as crazy. Not one person in the world can stand up to him or match him head to head, so the lot of them decide to all call him crazy and ignore him. Fine. I can work with all this. What I can't stand though is the army of Christians who sit back and don't go out into the world evangelizing. You know the type. Those who don't care, or those who do kinda care....but don't really make an effort to get out there and do something. Those who are content with themselves getting to heaven, even if the world is damned from their lack of action. They could do something....maybe....or not. And they don't. Which is the worst thing for a soldier, to be surrounded by a strong enemy, or to have unreliable comrades? Guys who just put down their weapons and sit there- doing their own thing. Or even those who want to help, but have never spent time training. These get slaughtered first, or worse- second. After they have watched all their stronger friends get hewn down. God has given all of us full access to a wide array of weapons, yet we don't use them. They sit there- and we fight huge attacks with no power. Ok. Yeah. I am going to go train. I'll be back. |
