It's Raining

Waiting for friends to pick me up. They want to do a tour of architecture when it is cold and pouring. I want to die. But on and on goes this nightmare. I can't seem to wake up. 

Do you like me at all God? Do you have any mercy for me or is it all nice and noisy? 

"I am here. Rest in me. I will make a way for you. Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Don't lean on your understanding. I love you and like you son."

When Hope is Lost

I'm staying with my sister right now. I lost almost everything in my life. Home, career, family, hope, mental stability, etc. And she let me crash with her.  She is an angel and a blessing. She has her own issues. She did me a favor when I had nowhere to go. Pray for her health please. Bless her, God.  I wanted to die for a long time. I wondered if God cared about me. I still wonder. His silence is deafening at times. I believed the bible stories, I believed Jesus was raised from the dead and died for my sins. But I still wanted to die. I struggle with it now. I have problems like you. But mine feel insurmountable.  Maybe you can relate.  I feel in my better moments like things could change for the better. And if you are struggling with that thought, I understand that too.  Back when I came back to faith after years away, my friend Karen prayed for me. And she felt like God was reminding her of an old Bob Marley song, which God was speaking over me. The chorus you may know: "D

Does God Like Me?

God Loves You.  But does he like you? Does He? I mean, he loves us according to many religions.  "For God so loved the world..." as John tells us.  But does he like us? I really wonder sometimes.  I'm starting this blog as a conversation. Maybe some of you out there have questions, too. I don't have answers necessarily.  But I feel sad and desperate at times, so I wonder if others might as well. I hope this comforts you.  There's so much confusion in the world and in our lives. Look at the wars going on. Look at the chaos in our personal existences. Does God exist? Does he/she care?  Maybe he loves us, but often I don't think he likes me very much. I hope I'm mistaken. If you are sad or anxious or depressed, I can relate.  I'm sorry you are going through it.  I don't believe pain is therapeutic. I think pain is horrible but we live on earth, where people are born and die, get married, split up, lose jobs, homes, hope. So it goes.  Me, I'm a Chr

When The Music's Over

I'm sitting with my sister. She's retired and watches bad television. I am in hell. It makes me want to kill myself.  Should I kill myself a God? After all these years of depression and failure, how long do we stick this out? Pop culture has not helped. The shallow and the passing. Lost too much time and too many brain cells. And unless this life changes I don't want to keep playing.  #silence #death #life #god #hope #hopeless #badtelevision #hell #heaven
