Just thoughts

- what happen to religious freedom? you know free to go to any church you want... be in any denomination you want
- What happen to listening? Tony this one is for you. What happen to parents or others listening before forming opinions?
- what happen to listening 2? why don't my kids trust us enough to listen to what we have to say... we aren't trying to opose them like other parents who shall remain nameless.
- what happen to doctors who know what they are doing? My wife is sick and in pain and the doctor has no clue (direct quote from him) what going wrong.

Granted I don't expect answers, because there is none, none that would surfice.

update

Just a note to say all is as well as can be expected. My parents think I'm still going to hell and Am allowing Satan to work in my life. I guess these good Southern Baptist are still upset with my and my wife's decision to join the Catholic Church. WE have been wronged so many times for a belief that has changed my life and is in the process of helping me exercise some demons out of my life. My depression is still strong and powerful but is combated with prayer and a Hail Mary. Since joining the church I have been able to see hope. I believe that God will grant me the grace to withstand and live within the depression. AS Paul knows our struggles are not always taken from us but we are told to live and work through them Sometimes he takes away inappropriate desires, like cutting, and all but takes it away with the exception of residual temptations.

update

greetings

things are progressing with my healing from surgery...
enjoyed mass yesterday (can't exspress in words what it mean to me)...
Confessionn is such a powerful liberating sacrement that I don't understand why more catholics don't partake....
Tony I still love you like a brother...

work???

Why, do I really still count for something in society? Some would say no since I am on SSI Disability. Some, less one sided folk, say I can volunteer and give my services away. When filling out forms I classify myself as an unpaid consultant. I have been given the opportunity to generate a web site for a local parish in Baltimore City. To say I'm exited would be an understatement. I love a challenge. It makes me feel alive. The people I get to work with are very kind and understanding and easy to get along with. Anyway, maybe one day when the site is launched I'll share the address.

Free man

It is go to say that I have been allowed to leave the house by my doctor. I can go to mass and doctor appointments.

It was amazing to be able to go to mass yesterday. I had missed it so much. I can't describe the feeling of being able to take the Eucharist for the first time in a long time. I am so thankful for that gift.

Being able to see Stacy (DR. Taylor) my psychiatrist was also life correcting. I enjoy the work that we do. IT amazes me that she puts up with my garbage.

Julie has had the hard difficult task of changing my bandages. She has enjoyed watching the new growth of tissue but she still has to look at my ugly butt. A job I wish on no one.

surgery

all will be happy to know that my surgery went well...
I'm still in a lot of pain but I'll get by.

I want to believe

I can't wait. In my short lifespan of 37 years I only had two favorite tv shows. One was Homicide: Life On The Streets and the second, my all time favorite, was The X Files. I am so happy to see a new web page for xfiles.com

IN short I want to believe....
