One thing about Catholi...Too long between posts. <br /><br />One thing about Catholicism I have always admired and wished would have somehow made it into "Charismatic/Pentecostal tradition," the confessional. Plenty of stuff about the healing that comes from confession. Sadly, most Christians are ignorant (lack of teaching) or extremely apprehensive (lack of trust). Many people know they are blind, but do not feel safe coming to those who are supposed to represent Christ. God help us to be open and unoffendable, so that others can really be healed, not just perform a religious exercise.THE PILGRIMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14255769078334097625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6958684909357593675.post-70797948868628308352010-09-19T20:27:49.132-07:002010-09-19T20:27:49.132-07:00The truth is much better than the lie.

If we can't see who we really are and act as though we are something different we have the problems of who we are and the problems that come from ignoring the first set of problems. Kind of a Chinese box. I am thankful that we have a God that knows us and works to make us the person we were created to be and Godly leaders to guide us along the way.Mike Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01730757874943889530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6958684909357593675.post-73308332586731826402010-09-17T13:39:52.367-07:002010-09-17T13:39:52.367-07:00Wow!

I am a wretched human being, but thank God I have Christ who has saved me and whose grace is sufficient. I tell myself that I look inward, but it is always a struggle to not focus on other's weaknesses to make myself feel better. Again, the truth ain't pretty, but it sure is better than trying to be who I am not! Great post Dad, thanks! I love you!kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11276976380825753501noreply@blogger.com
