I'm taking a break from most of my social media after the first of the year so I don't know if I'll see you much, but I wanted to tell you thank you for your words here. Your comments make sense and I hear you. xo my friendPokerLawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15460521595657731091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5622493734916832367.post-36001925120507190462016-11-16T10:22:48.352-06:002016-11-16T10:22:48.352-06:00"My faith in the church (and there is a disti..."My faith in the church (and there is a distinction) is hanging by a thread." <br /><br />That's a telling quote if I ever read one. Our walks are similar, but also very different. I never found peaceful guidance in the Catholic church. Not in 12 years of Catholic school nor over 25 years of weekly mass. I am totally disgusted by both sides of the political isle. I hear the left's merits of today's crazy neocon nationalistic leadership and at the same time want to laugh at their clown-scare panic. Who is right? I don't know. I don't like the direction where we as a society are going and truthfully, I am not scared. I hesitated to make this a church rant, but with all the tags here, it truly is a relevant topic. So I come back to ""My faith in the church (and there is a distinction) is hanging by a thread." <br /><br />I have found peace and comfort knowing my faith lies not in a church or in a political class. It lies at the foot of the cross of Jesus. If this is the start of the new white America then so be it. God has predetermined my course and I will trust that his love is perfect in every way. Whether I understand it or not. Maybe this new world order ends with me getting shot because I have brown skin and look like an illegal. If that happens, I know my where my salvation lies. <br /><br />I don't even know if my comment makes sense, but I too process by talking and writing. I hope you find comfort and can make some if any sense of what is going on. But be brave in your stance and maybe look outside of what you have known as "the church". <br /><br /> Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430465223153609322noreply@blogger.com
