About Me

As a Christian, I am simply trying to orient myself around living a particular kind of way, the kind of way that Jesus taught is possible. And I think that the way of Jesus is the best possible way to live.This isn't irrational or primitive or blind faith. It is merely being honest that we all are living a "way".I'm convinced being generous is a better way to live.I'm convinced forgiving people and not carrying around bitterness is a better way to live.I'm convinced having compassion is a better way to live.I'm convinced pursuing peace in every situation is a better way to live.I'm convinced listening to the wisdom of others is a better way to live.I'm convinced being honest with people is a better way to live.This way of thinking isn't weird or strange; it is simply acknowledging that everybody follows somebody, and I'm trying to follow Jesus.

Interesting:

"He who lives without prayer, he who lives with little prayer, he who seldom reads the Word, and he who seldom looks up to heaven for a fresh influence from on high - he will be the man whose heart wi...
